And then they became a footnote to aviation history.

The Wrights certainly understood the need for banking and coordinated
turns which for some reason the French had not but the French cottoned
on very fast and left the Wrights in the dust, or rather in the
courts.

Interestingly, by 1910 or thereabouts, almost all aviation fatalities
were in Wright aircraft, including most of their exhibition team.
