Description
The first eyewitness report of the Wright Brothers’ famous first heavier-than-air flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on September 20, 1904, appeared in a most unlikely place. Amos Ives Root, publisher and editor of Gleanings in Bee Culture, was invited by the Wrights to make detailed notes of the flight and was authorized to publish an article about it in his magazine, which appeared in the issues of January 1 and January 15, 1905.
