After their first short flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright returned to their workshop in Dayton, where they spent the next 18 months building and testing their flying machine in pursuit of a fully controllable aircraft. By the end of 1905, their machine could fly twenty miles or more at a time, and at Huffman Prairie Flying Field they made more than 100 test flights in 1904-1905, developing the world's first practical airplane. Dayton is associated with the first airplane, the first airport, and the first permanent flying school, all created by the Wright brothers. The city is also linked to the Wrights' home and workplaces in West Dayton, their printing business and bicycle shop, and to Paul Laurence Dunbar, an internationally recognized African American poet, playwright, and novelist who was a classmate and friend of Orville Wright and lived and worked in his house from 1904 to 1906. The original 1905 Wright Flyer III, flown by Wilbur and Orville at Huffman Prairie Flying Field, survives along with other objects connected to their work, including the camera used to record their historic 1903 flight and a replica of the bicycle shop where they designed and built their gliders and powered flyers.
