This is a film clip from Austrian archives showing the Wright Brothers
demonstrating their plane in Italy in 1909.



What is fantastic is there was an on-board camera on the Wright plane
and the last part of this film shows it. It's crystal clear. If you
haven't seen it, you must see this important film. Wilbur Wright is
at the controls on both of the flights

about the film.
