On December 14, 1903, Wilbur Wright made the first-ever manned flight under power. It only lasted for three seconds, but it had a profound effect on our world. Thirteen years later, these young men from the Curtiss Aviation School in Mississauga posed in front of a biplane before being sent to the front. A hundred years later, we remember the Wright Brothers’ achievements and all the many advances since that time.
