December 17th, 1903, was big in the annals of aviation; it was the day Orville and Wilbur's "Wright Flyer" made the first successful powered airplane flight in history. Who was the pilot?

After four years of research and development, along with many failed prototypes, the Wright brothers made history on the morning of December 17th, 1903. Orville lifted off from the beach at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and piloted the 1903 Wright Flyer for a 12-second flight, traveling 36 feet. Wilbur got to go second.
