CNET News, an online service of CBS, has posted a feature story about the Wright brothers's invention of the airplane with a focus on their work in Dayton.
CNET News Reporter Daniel Terdiman recently visited the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, a NAHA partner, and captured the essential details about the methodical research Wilbur and Orville Wright did in their West Third Street bicycle shop and the follow-up experiments on Huffman Prairie that led to the 1905 Wright Flyer III-the first practical airplane.
"A lifelong fan of airplanes and aviation, I couldn't resist the opportunity to come to Dayton on Road Trip 2013, and learn about the Wright brothers and how they changed the world," Terdiman wrote, referring to his continuing CNET News column.
