The first of three major international television presentations of historic events.

On 17 December 1903 on a remote North Carolina beachfront known as Kitty Hawk one of man's long-held dreams was realised - the first powered flight took place. This film, produced in America, portrays the events that led up to that first historic and exciting flight, and the complex personalities of Orville and Wilbur Wright - the two brothers whose tenacity and self-acquired know-how produced the first powered flying machine.
Written and directed by Arthur Barron
A NET/BBC co-production
