"Octave Chanute (February 18, 1832 – November 23, 1910) was a French-American civil engineer and aviation pioneer. He advised and publicized many aviation enthusiasts, including the Wright brothers. At his death, he was hailed as the father of aviation and the initial concepts of the heavier-than-air flying machine."

We actually have the original negative for this image in the Wright Brothers Papers. You can see it at www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2001696486/. Our caption for it is: "Rear view of Wilbur making a right turn in glide from No. 2 Hill, right wing tipped close to the ground."
