Scope and Content Note
The papers of Wilbur Wright (1867-1912) and Orville Wright (1871-1948) span
the years 1809 through 1979, with the bulk of the material dating from 1900
to 1948. The papers document the lives and work of the brothers who
designed, built, and piloted the first machine to achieve powered,
sustained flight in 1903 and the first practical airplane in 1905. The
papers are primarily in English but include material in French and German
as well. They are organized in the following series: Diaries and Notebooks,
Family Papers, General Correspondence, Subject File, Scrapbooks, Marvin W.
McFarland File, and Oversize.
The Diaries and Notebooks are among the most significant of the Wright
material. Orville Wright's entry for 17 December 1903 gives an account of
the first successful powered flights. The diaries describe the brothers'
flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and their scientific experiments and
include entries and financial notes on their 1907 trip to Europe, Wilbur
Wright's trip abroad in 1908, and Orville Wright's European tour of 1913.
Another group of entries refers to their flights at College Park, Maryland,
in 1909 and at Montgomery, Alabama, in 1910, where the Wrights conducted
flight training. Apart from the biographical information which they
contain, the logs are also significant for the scientific data, formulas,
and computations related to the aerodynamic and design factors which
enabled the Wright brothers to produce a successful airplane where others
had failed.
The Family Papers series consists primarily of correspondence between
Wright family members. Most of the letters are from Orville and Wilbur
Wright, their only sister, Katharine, and their father, Milton Wright, a
bishop of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. Other letters are
written by two older brothers, Lorin and Reuchlin. Letters from Wilbur and
Orville Wright to their sister and father provide details of their thoughts
and activities while they were conducting aeronautical experiments at Kitty
Hawk or making flight demonstrations in Europe. The letters and coded
cables exchanged between Orville and Wilbur while one was in Europe and the
other in the United States document their concerns as they conducted
contract negotiations for the sale of the Wright flyer. Letters from
Katharine Wright in the fall of 1908 describe the aftermath of Orville's
accident in Fort Myer, Virginia, and his recovery from serious injuries.
The correspondence between the siblings possesses a light and humorous
element that is usually less evident in their correspondence with others.
Additional items in this series include the wills of Orville and Wilbur
Wright, printed matter relating to Milton Wright and the Church of the
United Brethren in Christ, notes made by Lorin Wright on a trip to
Hammondsport, New York, in 1915, and genealogical notes.
The largest series is the General Correspondence comprising letters
exchanged with the general public, pioneer aviators, business associates,
and many world notables. A group of correspondence relating to the Wrights'
aeronautical experimentation includes letters from the American engineer
and aeronautical pioneer Octave Chanute. Replies toChanute's letters,
mainly written by Wilbur Wright, are located in the Manuscript Division's
collection of Chanute Papers. This exchange of letters begins with Wilbur
Wright's prophetic statement of 13 May 1900, "for some years I have been
afflicted with the belief that flight is possible to man." The letters,
with their discussions of the unresolved scientific and philosophic
problems posed by manned flight, indicate a shared dedication to a common
goal.
The largest group of correspondence in the series is with Griffith Brewer,
a lifelong friend and supporter and the first Englishman to fly. Further
correspondence with Brewer is located in the foreign business section of
the Subject File. Among the Wrights' business contacts was Hart O. Berg, an
agent with Flint & Company who helped promote and sell the Wright flier in
Europe. Berg also figures prominently in the foreign business section of
the Subject File. Attorneys who assisted the Wrights include Harry A.
Toulmin, who procured the basic patent for the Wright brothers' invention
of the airplane, and Pliny W. Williamson. Individuals involved in the
American Wright Company include aeronautical engineer Grover Loening and
Roy Knabenshue, who managed the Wrights' exhibition department. Other
correspondents include Henry Harley Arnold, Robert J. Collier, Earl N.
Findley, Benjamin Delahauf Foulois, Fred C. Kelly, Frank Purdy Lahm,
Charles A. Lindbergh, Glenn L. Martin, Charles Stewart Rolls, George A.
Spratt, and Paul Tissandier. Correspondence with the Smithsonian
Institution begins with the Wrights' initial request for information on
aeronautics in 1899 and extends through Orville's lengthy dispute with the
Smithsonian over whether Samuel P. Langley had created an aircraft capable
of flight prior to the Wright brothers' flight in December 1903. As a
result of this dispute Orville Wright lent the 1903 Wright flying machine
to the Science Museum in London in 1928, and it was not installed in the
Smithsonian Institution until after his death in 1948. Additional
information on the controversy appears in the Subject File.
Among the topics in the extensive Subject File are the Wrights' business
ventures and patent negotiations in the United States and such nations as
France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Austria, Russia, and Japan. Foreign
business files pertain to the work done by the Wrights' European business
representatives at Flint and Company as well as their overseas patent
agents, Brewer and Son and Thierry Brothers. Other folders in this section
focus on the companies established in Great Britain, France, and Germany to
produce and sell Wright aircraft. Files on the Wright Company, established
in the United States in late 1909, include contracts for appearances at air
shows by the Wright exhibition team and promotional brochures for the
Wright Flyer and the Wright Company School of Aviation. United States War
Department files cover the sale of the Wrights' airplane to the United
States Army and their work with the Signal Corps.
A patents section contains files relating to patents obtained by the
Wrights in the United States and abroad as well as airplane patents by
others. As the airplane came into more general use, numerous instances of
unauthorized application of features the Wrights had patented came to their
attention. The Subject File includes legal papers relating to their
lawsuits and patent claims. Of the various cases in which the Wrights were
involved, both in Europe and the United States, the records of the Wright
Co. v. Curtiss Aeroplane Co. and Wright Co. v. Herring-Curtiss Co. are the
most extensive.
Other subject files include journals and ledgers from the Wright & Wright
printing shop and the Wright Cycle Company; records of the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, on which Orville Wright served for over
twenty years; printed matter relating to the Wright brothers and aviation
in general; and writings by Wilbur and Orville Wright.
A series of scrapbooks contains newspaper and magazine articles relating to
flights and other activities of the Wrights beginning in 1902 when they
were conducting glider experiments at Kitty Hawk. Printed matter concerning
other members of the family and many of their prominent friends is
included. The scrapbooks also contain memorabilia such as cartoons, guest
badges, posters, telegrams, and autographed testimonial dinner programs.
The subject most fully documented is the Wright's controversy with the
Smithsonian Institution. There are also a number of rare aero-philatelic
items and mementos pertaining to honorary degrees and other tributes.
The Marvin W. McFarland File was not part of the original gift of papers
but was generated by the publication of Wright material. It consists of
typescripts, research material, and photographs collected for The Papers of
Wilbur and Orville Wright, edited by McFarland and published in two volumes
by McGraw-Hill Book Co. in 1953. The book includes correspondence and
extracts from the diaries and notebooks contained in the Wright brothers'
papers. Transcripts record Bishop Milton Wright's diaries,1901-1907, which
are not included in the Wright papers.
