Fire severely damages Wright Brothers factory at Dayton Aviation Heritage NHP

Writer: Dave Harmon, PW editorDave Harmon, PW editor

A fire that broke out at a building complex in Dayton, Ohio, on Sunday damaged a factory founded by Wilbur and Orville Wright, the brothers who were the first people to successfully fly an airplane.


The fire throws into doubt the future of the factory, where the brothers built planes starting in the 1910s. It became part of the National Park Service’s group of aviation-related sites in Dayton in 2009.
