History of Aviation
        North Carolina entered the history books as a focal point of aviation history when brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright chose Kitty Hawk as the location for their heavier-than-air machine experiments.
        To provide adequate lift for large gliders, the Wright brothers needed to find a place with more wind than was typical anywhere near Dayton OH. In November 1899, Wilbur wrote to Willis L Moore, Chief of the US Weather Bureau, asking about high wind conditions throughout the country. The first rural place on the list Moore sent back was Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. During the years 1900, 1901 and 1902 Orville and Wilbur experimented at Kitty Hawk with kites, gliders, and a wind tunnel they built to test wing design. The Wright brothers developed the first effective airplane and made the historic first airplane flight in 1903.
        On January 1, 1912 in Wilmington NC bad weather prevented a flight from taking place. The next day on January 2nd the weather cleared and pilot, Walter Brookins flew his Wright-Breguet aeroplane carrying a mailbag with approximately 1,600 pieces of mail over a distance of three miles. The mailbag was dropped by Brookins over Winter Park and was then retrieved by a postal clerk transporting it the post office by automobile for further dispatch in the postal system. Wilmington Postmaster, Thomas E Wallace authorized the establishment of a postal sub-station at the Highwood Park Race Track in Wilmington and this aerial transport of mail.
