The Army Air Force acquired

Before Uncle Sam would risk
buying one of those new tangled
Wright inventions (now he buys
planes by the 10,000's) he
insisted on Orville Wright Civ
ing a test flight. This was plan
ned for the fall of 1908, and
Wright's crazy-looking bi-plane
was accordingly towed to a pa
rade ground at Fort Myer, Va,
for the test. An open touring car
hauled the rickety-looking plane,
which was balanced on wagon
to be drawn out to the take-off
Lieut.. T. E. Selfridge (we're
not sure whether he was attach
ed to the Signal Corps or. the
regular Army, was chosen to
accompany Wright on the flight
as official observer. After
q few minutes flight in a spiri:-
ed wind over the field, tail
guy on the plane broke loose and
fouled the propeller. The plane
crashed, killing Selfridge and in
juring Wright.
Selfridge's death was the first
official Air Corps casualty in
the interests of military aviation.
