Airplanes - Historical - Wright Brothers' Aeroplane. Dayton-Wright Airplane Co. Plant, Dayton, Ohio. May 14 -18, 1918. Historical Note: The Wright Company manufactured aeroplanes under their own name until about 1916, then a merger was made with Glenn Martin to form the Wright Martin Company. Glenn Martin reformed that company under his name alone and the next appearance of the name Wright came soon after the opening of World War-1 when the Dayton Wright Co was formed. Their principal product was De Haviland airplanes (English design general purpose type). The aeroplane shown had been reframed by Orville Wright as his personal plane, but was not the property of D.W. Co. In this photo Orville has the controls; the plane is pitted with his automatic stabilizer
