Yes. I consider them to be a major part of our history because they were the ones that managed to successfully fly across the ocean. They started what I think should be called an "Air" or "Aironautic" revolution.
"The Liberator" was a newspaper in the American history. It was about slavery and that it should be abolished!!!
Aviation history, We would not have air travel or flight specials, be able to meet business clients on time or even make it home for the holidays so quickly or for a family emergency without the Wright Bros.
They fixed bikes and made a printing press. The Wright Brothers invented the airplane, this is the main reason why they are remembered. More detail; The Wright brothers inventing the air plain was the biggest breakthrough because without the invention then transportation would be slow.
If only one was made- for the Airman, it would have celebrity history status and is probably in the Smithsonian Air And Space museum as is Lindbergh"s plane, duplicates of instruments used on the craft, and other mementios of the flight.
