The Wright Brothers
 It was 12 seconds that changed history. On December 17, 1903, brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright became the first men to fly in a power driven airplane. The first flight lasted 12 seconds, but they proved man could fly. Here are some interesting and fact-filled sites about the Wright Brothers and aviation.

First Flight Society
http://www.firstflight.org/
 The First Flight Society commemorates the first flights of the Wright Brothers on December 17, 1903. The main page of this site features the famous photo taken by John T. Daniels of their first flight. This photo was the inspiration for the design of the North Carolina State Quarter which is being issued this month.

Wright Brothers Aeroplane Company & Museum of Pioneer Aviation
http://www.first-to-fly.com/
 The Wright Brothers Aeroplane Company and Museum of Pioneer Aviation is a forum for early aviation historians and enthusiasts. There's so much on this site, you won't know where to start when you visit!

Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization
http://www.rnh.com/
 This is the official Web site of the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization. Visit it to learn more about the team's many musicals as well as those of Andrew Lloyd Weber and more than 100 songwriters and authors. There are Plot Descriptions, History, Discography, Production Information, and Audio Clips.
 
The Sound of Music
http://www.thesoundofmusic.com/
 If you'd like to find out more about Rodgers & Hammerstein's Sound of Music before you see OFA's production, visit this Web site. Although it promotes the current Sound of Music tour with Barry "Greg Brady" Williams as Captain von Trapp, you will also find information about the music, current tour schedule, the history of the show and the von Trapp Family, and Austria.
