The Wright Brothers (Written by W G Uprichard for Sarah)

He starts by writing about the Wright brothers first flight then tells a story that happened to him in May 1941. Six pilots flew B17s from Seattle to UK. En route they stopped at Wright Field. The ensuing publicity attracted Orville Wright to come to see the British pilots. They discussed bombing of Germany and civilians. Orville was very religious and didn't like aeroplanes being used as a weapon of war.
