About this listen

In the debut episode of Airplanes, we return to the windswept dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, where two brothers with a bicycle shop and a dream changed the course of human history. This episode unpacks how Orville and Wilbur Wright defied skeptics, studied the physics of flight, and built the world’s first powered airplane. But it wasn’t just about invention — it was about obsession, competition, and the moment mankind first left the ground. Through letters, archives, and eyewitness accounts, we explore how a 12-second flight redefined what was possible and began a century-long race to master the sky.
