Before December 1903, flying in the air was just a dream for most people. That year, brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright went to North Carolina’s Outer Banks. They were determined to make history with their motorized flying machine. Young Johnny Moore was one of the few people who believed in them. As a crowd gathered on the stormy beach, Johnny helped the brothers prepare for flight. He also wondered: would the Wrights succeed?
