On Mar. 2, 2018, Joint Base San Antonio celebrated the 108th anniversary of the first military flight made by Army Lt. Benjamin Foulois at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston on March 2, 1910. The original Signal Corps Aircraft No. 1 flown by Foulois was a Canard biplane with a four-cylinder Wright 30.6-horsepower engine driving two wooden propellers via a sprocket-and-chain transmission system. “Old Number One,” America’s first military airplane, was an earlier machine than the Model B the Wright Brothers began building in their Dayton, Ohio, factory in 1910.
