Dummy Oscar ready for Army Air Corps anniversary. Washington, D.C., June 30. Dummy Oscar, jauntily attired in the now antiquated army aviator's uniform of the first decade of the 20th century, sits clasping the sticks of the army's first airplane in readiness for the 30th anniversary of the birth of the Army Air Corps early in August. Paul Garber, Assistant Curator in charge of the Smithsonian aircraft collection, is shown with the dummy in the plane built by the Wright Brothers and accepted by the government in 1909. The plane now in the Smithsonian Institution is the same one used in the test flights at Fort Meyer, Virginia by Orville Wright

Wright-Brüder Die Wright-Brüder Orville (19. August 1871 - 30. Januar 1948) und Wilbur (16. April 1867 - 30. Mai 1912) waren zwei amerikanische Brüder, Erfinder und Pioniere der Luftfahrt, denen die Erfindung, der Bau und das Fliegen des ersten erfolgreichen Flugzeugs der Welt zugeschrieben werden. Obwohl sie nicht die ersten waren, die Experimentalflugzeuge bauten und flogen, waren die Gebrüder Wright die ersten, die Flugzeugsteuerungen erfanden, die Starrflügelflüge ermöglichten. Orville Wright

Schwerer als Luft: Von den ersten bemannten Flügen, die schwerer als Luft waren, bis zu den Anfängen der modernen Luftfahrt.
