Here is a film clip from the Austrian archives about the Wright Brothers demonstrating their plane in Italy in 1909. What is even better is there was an on-board camera on the Wright plane and the last part of this film shows it. It's crystal clear. If you haven't seen it, it's pretty cool. Wilbur Wright is at the controls on both of the flights. http://www.europafilmtreasures.eu/PY/322/fiche_technique.htm?ID=322_ (http://www.europafilmtreasures.eu/PY/322/fiche_technique.htm?ID=322 Then click on " See the film" towards the bottom. The film was made in Italy, not in the U.S.
