Remembering the Wright Brothers
featuring "The first assembly line for cars."
First in flight
The first flight occurred in 1913. Thier aircraft flew in Kill Devil Hills, near Kitty Hawk N.C.
The people who created the aircraft were Wilbur and Orville Wright. Why did they build the aircraft you ask? Some people say it was an accident. Others say it was for fun. The real reason was because many others had tried, but all had failed. They lived in Ohio. The Wright brothers built thier aircraft in a bicycle shop they owned. They used most of the parts they owned, but some they had to buy from other stores. Only a couple years later, they created the first planes for war. Below are some of the very many old war planes.
american F-02
The F-02 is still pretty loud, but not as loud as the P-51 mustang. The F-02 is the same type of plane as the planes that bombed pearl harbor.
american P-51 mustang
The P-51 mustang is the size of the F-4U corsair and the F-02 cub. It was one of the loudest planes, but good for combat and show.

The F-4U corsair has bent wings for both flight, tactics, and
combat. It was the best choice for air strike in world war II.
The first assembly line for cars
making cars cheaper
The first cars were built around the 1900's. There were very few, but there were still cars. They were very expensive because they were hard to make. One day, Henry Ford was looking for a way to make cars cheaper. Then one day he visited a pig slauter building. He noticed they were using an assembly line to make their work faster. Once he got back to his factory, he started his work on building his assembly line for cars. This was big news for car owners. The big production caused the government to build more roads and highways. Now, more people can afford cars.
key words
First in flight, kill devil hills, kitty hawk, North Carolina, assembly line, auto mobile, manufacturing, highways, and roads.
