114 years ago today, the Wright Brothers flew a failed manned flight on the dunes of Kitty Hawk, NC. Because it was their 1st attempt, Wilbur stalled upon lift off and crashed. 3 days and a few repairs later, the Wright Brothers made history when Orville flew 12 seconds/120 ft.

On July 15, 1953, the Regulus 1 became the first operational cruise missile in US history. Six years later, a Regulus 1 made the first and only delivery of Missile Mail. It didn’t start a new trend in airmail, but it did deliver a message about the accuracy of US missiles.

Have you ever seen one of these arrows? This one can be found near Woodruff, SC. These concrete slabs are remnants of the US Airmail system, which was first est. in 1918. Before radio guidance & IFR, pilots followed the arrows & beacon lights to find their way through the sky.
