**The Wright Brothers **  Have you ever thought about who made the first plane? Well, we will have to go all the way back to 1867 to when the creators were born. On April 16, 1867 Wilbur Wright was born. A few years later Orvillle Wright was born on August 19, 1871; the brothers were known as the Wright Brothers. In school, the brothers were more interested in flight than schoolwork. They had read an article about Otto Von Lilienthal, an inventor of a glider. So when they were kids, Bishop Wright (the brothers dad) bought them Penaud helicopters - devices that could glide. . .. . The Start Of The Plane  It all started when the Wright Brothers owned a bike shop and a printing press. They stopped their business to assemble their first plane. It failed many times. They had to make many changes to the plane, and then on December 17, 1903 it finally worked! The plane weighed 120 pounds and had no tail at all! The first flight the plane made was 10 feet high, 120 feet straight, and it all lasted 12 seconds! Then they went to Kitty Hawk, a camp for testing projects, every other time to test their plane. On the fifth flight the plane went 852 feet in 59 seconds. The whole plane had taken one year, two months, and 20 days to build. Then it was all over. Orville crashed the plane in pieces. The two brothers packed it up and went home for Christmas .

Then it was all over. Orville crashed the plane in pieces. The two brothers packed it up and went home for Christmas. Bishop died in 1917, and after that the two brothers had no parents anymore. After that the military used the first Atomic bomb in 1945, three years before Orville died on december 30th 1948, at age 76. Thirty six years before, in 1912 Wilbur died. That is the story about the Wright brothers.
