Flying over Fort Myer, 1909.
The first full-scale public performance of a Wright airplane in the
U.S. occurred at Fort Myer in Arlington, Virginia in September of 1908.
The U.S. War Department had offered Wilbur and Orville Wright a $25,000
contract if their Flyer reached a speed of 40 miles per hour in test
flights. Wilbur and Orville had solicited the War Department to adopt
their new Flyer as a practical machine that could deliver messages or
scout from the air in war. With its proximity to Washington and home to
the Army’s Signal Corps Aeronautical Division, Arlington’s Fort Myer was
a logical place to test the Wright brothers’ heavier-than-air flying
machine.
