| Abstract |
An account of the role played by the U.S. Life Saving Station at Kill Devil Hills, NC, in the work of the Wright brothers. The staff of the Station provided assistance by going to the market for food, delivering mail, hauling lumber, and by helping launch and retrieve the aircraft. Five of them assisted in launching the first flight, Dec. 17, 1903, and one of them--U.S. Coast Guardman J.T. Daniels--took the only photograph of the momentous event. |
