On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright made the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air machine from a sandy shore 2 miles south of the beach settlement of Kitty Hawk in North Carolina, USA, his brother in attendance.
Development over the next 5 years was constrained by the poor quality of the early engines but by 1909 radial engines had developed to the point they could give a burst of development – especially in France. In May the first air race, the Prix de Lagatinerie, was held at Port-Aviation south of Paris. In July Louis Blériot crossed the English Channel winning £10,000 in the process; in August the Grande Semaine d’Aviation de la Champagne meeting at Rheims, France demonstrated the coming-of-age of aviation.
The Gordon Bennet, Schneider and other trophies and competitions escalated the competitive instinct of the early aviation pioneers. The potential was soon noticed elsewhere. In 1910 the Aéronautique Militaire in France became the world’s first “air force”. The German army began training airmen in July 1910 and created the Fliegertruppen des deutschen Kaiserreiches in April 1911. The same year the Committee of Imperial Defence in London recommended the formation of a flying corps. By the end of 1912 the Royal Flying Corps had 300 officers and 36 aircraft.
