PART III

WRIGHT FAMILY PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTION

This series includes many original photographic prints made by the Wrights from their own negatives shortly after the images were taken. The Wrights exposed at least 303 gelatin dry plate negatives in the course of documenting their process of invention. All of their glass plate negatives were given to the Library of Congress in 1949, but many of their original prints remained with the Estate of Orville Wright. Many of the Wright Brothers original negatives were damaged in Daytons great flood of 1913, when they were submerged for up to four days. The Wright State University collection includes some images for which no negatives exist at the Library of Congress and so many of these prints are unique. In addition, this collection includes hundreds of prints collected by the Wrights through their association with other aviation pioneers such as Octave Chanute, and a great variety of aeronautical prints either collected by them, or sent to them by well-wishers through the years. While the major prints exist in both collections, both the Wright State University collection and the Wright collection in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress contain many images that are unique to each collection. Wilbur and Orville Wright began photographing their experiences on the Outer Banks using a 4 x 5 inch dry plate camera. In 1902 they purchased a Korona view camera which used 5 x 7 inch dry plates. They developed their negatives and made prints in the darkroom they set up at their home in Dayton. The sizes of the early prints tend to follow the original negative size suggesting that they were created as contact prints. The fact that the Wrights glass negatives were damaged in 1913 provides a means to attribute a date range for those prints showing activities at Kitty Hawk and Huffman Prairie between 1900 and 1905. In this listing, prints made from the Wright negatives before the 1913 flood, which show no damage, are described as early. Those older prints showing the extensive post flood emulsion damage characteristic of the negatives in their present condition, are described as later. There are also a number of much later copy prints made on photographic papers in use between the 1930s and the 1970s. These are generally described as recent or modern. The Wright Brothers personal photographic record of their process of invention, and the great achievement represented by their early Flyers, is contained here in boxes 15 and 16. The images in boxes 17 through 31 are, with exceptions, those that were collected (rather than made) by Wright Family members over the courses of their lives. This collection is a premier resource for archival images of the pioneering years of flight.

Series 5 LE MANS, FRANCE: 1908, 1918

Box 17, File 2: Wilbur Wright at Le Mans, France, 1908. Wilbur Wright traveled to Le Mans, France, in May 1908. He spent June and July assembling a 1907 model Wright Flyer which had been shipped to France the previous year. This Flyer was based on the design of the modified 1905 Wright Flyer and was equipped with two seats and a stick to control wing warping, instead of the old hip cradle. This design subsequently became known as the Wright Model A. Wilbur was offered space to work in the automobile factory of Lon Bolle. On August 8, 1908 he made his first European flight consisting of two rounds over the Hunaudires race course south of Le Mans. Seeking a larger, and less obstructed flying field, Wilbur moved his demonstrations to Camp dAuvours, an artillery range east of Le Mans. His demonstration flights, which set many world records, continued at Camp dAuvours until December 31, 1908. Unless otherwise noted all prints are early 5 x 7 inch photographs. 1. View from the lower right of Wilbur Wright piloting a Wright 1907 Flyer at Le Mans, France in 1908. Wilbur flew this aircraft at Le Mans between August 8 and December 31, 1908.

Box 19, File 3: Simms Station - Huffman Prairie, Dayton, 1910, 1913 While at Simms Station in 1910, the Wright Brothers flew the Wright Model A Flyer (Wright 1907 machine) from May 10 to May 20. From May 21 to October 14, they flew the Wright Model B Flyer. The transition from the Wright Model A Flyer (1907-type machine) was gradual. Orville and Wilbur Wright both experimented with placement of the horizontal control surfaces in 1909. In 1910 they applied a fixed horizontal stabilizer to the tail of the Model A. It was then made moveable, working in conjunction with the front horizontal rudder. Later, the front horizontal rudder was removed and wheels attached to the skids. Eventually the front ends of the skids were flattened and shortened, thus creating the Wright Model B Flyer. 1. Two cows walk across the Prairie with the hangar beyond them. 2.
