In December 1903, among the windswept sand dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio started up the custom-built motor set atop a wing made from wood and cloth. That afternoon, Wilbur and Orville Wright became the first humans to successfully complete a flight in a powered, heavier-than-air craft. The age of aviation had begun. For history's sake, starting in 1900, the brothers also hauled another new technology of the era into the remote Outer Banks, a portable photographic camera. Over the course of the following years and decades, the Wright brothers captured the remarkable evolution of aviation as it moved from an impossible dream to a full-blown industry.The Wrights' photographs, preserved by the Library of Congress, and presented here in this collection, provide an intimate look into the Wright family's life as well as an astounding chronicling of the brothers' process of inventing, testing and flying their pioneering flyers.

On December 17, 1903, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, was no longer a quiet outpost among the islands of the Outer Banks. It was then that Orville and Wilbur Wright completed the first manned flight and the era of aviation began. What is not well known about the Wright brothers' is that they were highly skilled amateur photographers, who even had their own photo laboratory. Their images were purposeful as well as documentary, allowing Orville and Wilbur to re-examine their work and share their experiences with colleagues. Now, through advances in technology, readers can for the first time see details of not only those first amazing flights, but also a glimpse into the lives and the people who surrounded the Wright brothers during their time at Kitty Hawk. Hidden Images: Discovering Details in the Wright Brothers' Kitty Hawk Photographs, 1900-1911, by historian and Wright brothers' scholar Larry Tise, is a distinctive illustrated history, which for the first time brings to light the world of the Wright brothers at the dawn of aviation. The details in the images presented within allow the reader to step back in time and truly understand the trials and errors endured by the Wright brothers during these historic years in the history of aviation.

"On-point historical photographs combined with strong narration bring the story of the historic first flight ever to life. Kids will feel as though they are at Kitty Hawk with Wilbur and Orville Wright as the brothers prepare to test their aircraft. They'll also learn about the history of flight and the skepticism that greeted the Wrights when they, at first, refused to release the photograph of their successful flight"--

Renowned Dayton, Ohio photographer Dan Cleary blends his passion for photography with a fascination for the Wright Brothers' legacy. In his book, Wright Brothers: Then and Now, Cleary seamlessly blends historical images of the Wright Brothers with current images he has taken at the same locations. The result is a compelling visual tribute to the pioneers of flight. The Wright Brothers were accomplished photographers and used photography in their process of discovery. Cleary obtained digital photographs by and about the Wright Brothers for this project. He then traveled to Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Michigan, New York, and France to capture current-day photographs at locations where the Wright Brothers made their early test experiments and flight demonstrations. Using his artistry as a photographer and his mastery of Photoshop, he superimposes the old and new images into captivating new combinations where the past and present interweave. He also includes a written narrative in each picture about the people behind the history, helping to bring life to each photograph. The image in the book "Bishop's First Flight" references the day in May 1910 when Bishop Milton Wright, the Wright Brothers' father, flew for the first time. He and Orville traveled to a height of about 350 feet and flew for six minutes over Huffman Prairie in Dayton, Ohio. The Bishop is said to have exclaimed, "Higher, Orville, Higher!" The Huffman Prairie Flying Field National Historical Park is adjacent to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. While at Huffman Prairie taking photographs with this historical image in mind, a C-17 Globemaster III transport took off from the Air Force Base and flew into Cleary's camera's frame. Cleary states, "The C-17 and Orville and Bishop Wright's plane lined up perfectly! It seemed to me that "Higher, Orville, Higher" was an appropriate metaphor for where aviation was soon to be." About the image titled "Kite Flying," Cleary recounts, "While at the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, Park Rangers started to pass out kites to visitors. It was the perfect opportunity to photograph, especially knowing the Wright Brothers used kites in their testing. Later in PhotoShop, I playfully inserted Orville and Wilbur with their kite into the scene." This photograph of Cleary's is one of the more playful images in the book. Wright Brothers: Then and Now is a must-have book for the Wright Brother history buff. This book is available from Dan's website, www.ClearyFineArtPhoto.com, and at many aviation and history museum bookstores.

Dan's images represent moving back in time while standing in the present day. This historical, engaging project is filled with images of flight and other kinds of transportation from both the past and the present (ships, cars, and horse-drawn carriages). As a photographer, it must be a powerful experience to document these places while imagining the Wright brothers flying overhead! His images offer proof of events largely unknown by the rest of the world. Cleary offers viewers rare glimpses of life in these culturally and emotionally colorful historical environments. And in these environments, there is a stark comparison between the beauty of the contemporary, wide-open city and landscapes and visions of the historical sky above. The urban images are full of events and people going about their everyday lives. Everyone is probably thinking about the future and what comes next. Yet, he reminds us that the present could not be possible without all the events that occurred in these same places. Dan's photographic style of layering an image within an image speaks about the passage of time, nostalgia, and the relationship between American history and the way life continues to thrive. The color and the black and white images compare and contrast two experiences of the moment and over time. These photos create a sense of mood, atmosphere, and drama. The photos are interesting because they blur the line between fine art photography, historical photography, street photography, and documentary photography.

When the world learned that Wilbur and Orville Wright had performed man's first powered, controlled flights at Kitty Hawk on December 17, 1903, that sleepy village became an international landmark. In addition to recording their first flight in one of the twentieth century's most famous photographs, the Wrights took hundreds of other images of the windswept clime and the people they met on North Carolina's coast. Historian Larry Tise uses their photographs to reveal people, places and events nowhere else recorded. Join Tise for a guided tour of the Wright brothers' Outer Banks encampment between 1900 and 1911.
