Sharing the Dream
1903-1998
95th Anniversary of Flight
December 17, 1903


THE WRIGHT DREAM OF FLIGHT

Two brothers were born at separate times
They grew up to write newspaper times.
They patented a flight control system
And made the first plane.
In 1902 their first plane flew,
But first they built a wind tunnel to find things they never knew.
In 1912 Wilbur died from a mysterious fever called Typhoid.
Orville went on building more models of planes.
He lived his life in security and peace
But later died in 1948 in peace.

THE WRIGHT BROTHERS

Wilbur and Orville were the first to fly
But they didn't go very high,

On December 17, 1903
History was made for the world to see,

 One problem that stopped their flight
Was distance and height,

The 2nd and 3rd flight didn't go very far
It reached 175 feet but not close to a star,

The 4th one was a very successful flight
Because of it we can even fly at night.

THE WRIGHT BROTHERS

Wowed the world with their flying machine
Redesigned and recalculated their invention
Invented two bicycles, the "Van Cleve" and the "Wright Flyer"
Great fame was experienced in 1909 and 1910
Had to make their own engine for their first plane
Taught new pilots how to fly.

The Wright Brothers

Their interest started with sleds and with kites.
Their interest, we know of course was in flight.
A toy helicopter was a quite well liked present
To try on those days when outside it was pleasant.
On December 17, 1903
With plenty of witnesses there to see
The brothers took off
But did not fly far
But they flew, they did not drive a car.
The Wright Brothers were the first to fly,
To take off into the sky.
They started some thinking
About flying like birds.
Yes, the Wright Brothers were people
Whose name many have heard.

The Wright Brothers

Wilbur and Orville Wright, were interested in flight.
Ever since their father brought them home a toy helicopter
When they were older they started with a kite, then they went to Kitty Hawk to learn more about flight.
They invented the plane and kept it a mystery and when they told they went in history!

Wright Brothers

Orville and Wilbur, brothers were they
As little boys they would play
Over the years my they grew
To invent a plane that's what they would do.
