WRIGHT MEMORIAL SHAFT Wright Brothers National Memorial Kill Devil Hills, N. C. The striking Wright Memorial Shaft, a triangular pylon of gray granite, 60 feet high, commemo- rates the first successful airplane flight achieved by Wilbur and Orville Wright on December 17, 1903. Its sides ornamented with outspread wings in bas-relief, the shaft gives to the eye the impression of a gigantic bird about to take off into space. Pub. by Walter H.
