    In October of 1903, now back at their North Carolina beach camp, the brothers began assembling and testing their 1903 machine. On December 14th, Wilbur won a coin toss with Orville, so he was first to attempt to pilot the machine into the air. Unfortunately, Wilbur pulled up too sharply as he came off the launch rail, hit the sand, and damaged the front controls, which then needed repair.
    Three days later, on December 17th, Orville took his turn and made the first successful airplane flight in history, lasting just 12 seconds and covering 120 feet. Wilbur made a second flight, covering 175 feet, while Orville made a third covering 200. Wilbur made the fourth and final flight of the day, which lasted 59 seconds. The plane came to rest 852 feet from its lift-off point. The Wright flyer then suffered the fate of an earlier glider. A strong wind tumbled it over, damaging it beyond repair and preventing any more flights that season.
