Description: The photograph captures a momentous occasion in aviation history: the first powered, controlled, and sustained flight. Orville Wright can be seen at the controls of the machine, positioned prone on the lower wing with his hips in the cradle that operated the wing-warping mechanism. Meanwhile, his brother Wilbur Wright runs alongside the aircraft to help balance it, having just released his hold on the forward upright of the right wing. In the background, the starting rail, wing-rest, and other items necessary for flight preparation can be seen. Orville Wright, having set up the camera beforehand, had John T. Daniels release the shutter by squeezing the rubber bulb. This photograph is an iconic visual representation of a moment that changed the course of aviation history forever.
