Seaside Vacations

In North Carolina schools, children are taught that December 17th, 1903 is the date that the Wright Brothers took to the sky with flight.  Larry E. Tise, author and historian, feels that there are several other dates that are just as important.

Tise believes that May 8-14th, 1908 is equally important because the world truly began to notice of the Wright Brothers.  Before, the flights were solo with only one brother operating the plan, but by 1908, both brothers could experience flight together, and they were able to remain air born for a few minutes.

Tise’s new book Conquering The Sky tells the tale of these two extraordinary people that made it possible for humans to take flight. The book paints a picture of all the hard work and preparation that went into making this astonishing achievement. This book is considered to be the most detailed account of the events leading up to their famous flights and is a must read for any Outer Banks Lover.
