Dayton, 2007 - Huffman Prairie Flying Field |
||||||
| Near the Air Force Museum is Huffman Prairie Flying Field where for two years the Wright Brothers perfected their flying machine after the famous four flights at Kitty Hawk. | ||||||
|
||||||
|
Amazingly, the site is pretty much as
it was 100 years ago. The area where the Wrights
flew is marked by white
flags.
