Aviation History

An introduction to Wilbur and Orville Wright and their historic contributions to aviation history. This story is especially relevant now, 100 years after their first successful, manned, controlled, heavier-than-air flight in 1903.

Aviation History Timeline

A quick summary of all the major landmarks in aviation history from Chinese kites in 1000 B.C. to the Wrights in 1903.

Aviator Family Trees and Bios

WikiTree is a new collaborative history site. Participants have started pages for aviation pioneers Amelia Earhart Putnam, Charles Lindbergh, James Doolittle, Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright.

WikiTree starts with individuals and families — your own or a significant figure from history — and grows with the help of family and friends.
