On September 20, 1904 A.I. Root saw Wilbur Wright fly the first complete circle in an airplane. He wrote an article about the achievement for his Gleanings in Bee Culture periodical, but delayed publishing the story until the following January at the request of the Wrights. His report and follow-ups were the only published eyewitness accounts of successful flights by the Wright brothers at Huffman Prairie, a pasture outside Dayton where the brothers developed the first practical airplane. #tbt #historylesson #rootcandles #rootcandlebuzz #medinaohio #wrightbrothers
