In Honor of Today's 115th Anniversary of the First Flight

"We do not believe it will ever be a commercial vehicle at all. We do not believe it will find any very large place in the world of sport. We do not believe its military importance is as great as is commonly supposed, or will extend (except accidentally) beyond the range of scouting and courier service."  - from The Engineering Magazine published on the sixth anniversary of the Wright brothers first flight.
They were wrong, by the way.  So much for learned predictions.
