I’ve oftened wondered why the 12 second flight is always majored as what changed everything; it did, but before they quit the beach they were staying aloft for much longer periods of time. It was the event at Kitty Hawk.
Yes, Wilbur’s last flight that day was 852ft 59 sec. Wilbur won the initial coin toss on the 14th. History says he rose to fast and stalled it. The plane had to be repaired. There was some writings I read that Orville running in the sand at launch tipped the wing he was supporting. Either way, the brothers and the great Charlie Taylor made history.
