I’m Amanda Wright Lane, great-grandniece of Wilbur and Orville Wright.

Since the beginning of time, the mystery and majesty of flight have fascinated people. Many Ohioans have played a major role in the development of aviation. All challenged the course of history, and some risked their lives for that progress.

Much as we watch birds in flight, Orville Wright also watched them and studied the exact motion of their wings while they flew. He used those observations as he and his brother Wilbur designed and experimented with their flying machines.

This tour highlights several Ohioans who have played an integral role in the history of the United States Air Force and its predecessor organizations.
