Wright Bros/Early Flight
Wright Bros/Early Flight
Master 1 - Tape 1 B/W archival footage of the Wright Brothers possibly at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina (??? - NOT their famous first flight, might be different location) A small crowd of maybe 50 people are assembled to view the flight. Biplane flies in the air from right to left. Biplane on the gournd is pushed from right to left, as if it had landed and a man was moving it into its hanger. Biplane flies overhead and over camera. Good medium close shot. Wheels have dropped. At famous shot of the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk; Orville or Wilbur is in the plane, brother at his side. Camera is positioned directly behind plane, at ground level. Plane taxis away from camera and is seen flying away in the distance. A few spectators move toward the camera, running kind of. It's almost shocking to see their faces. Various shots of old bi-planes, on the ground and in the air.
