KITTY HAWK DAY
Kitty Hawk is a small village on Albemarle Sound near Kill Devil Hill — about 75 miles South of Norfolk as the plane flies — in Dare County North Carolina, on one of the low sandy islands that parallel our South-eastern coast. In 1903 Kill Devil Hill was a high shifting sand dune. Now it is held firm by the carefully planted wiry grass of the National Memorial and is topped by the 60 foot granite shaft of the Wright Memorial Monument, overlooking the Atlantic to the East and the Sound to the West. On the sandy Northern slop of Kill Devil Hill the event took place, the morning of December 17, 1903 — man's first successful controlled powered flight — by the courageous pioneers whom we salute on Kitty Hawk Day 1953, Wilbur and Orville Wright.
