Soaring into history 🛩️Wilbur and Orville Wright

Soaring into history on December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright achieved the first successful flight of a heavier-than-air aircraft near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Their revolutionary Wright Flyer soared for just 12 seconds on its maiden voyage.

The Wright brothers' invention was officially recognized when they were granted U.S. Patent No. 821,393 on May 22, 1906, for their "Flying Machine."

This patent, preserved in the records of the National Archives, laid the foundation for their innovative three-axis control system, which allowed a pilot to steer the aircraft effectively. This key innovation remains a fundamental principle in aviation to this day.

Ep 297: The Ghost Ship Carroll A. Deering

"Like a ‘Flying Dutchman,’ the five-masted schooner Carroll A. Deering loomed through the mists about Diamond Shoals today, all sails set, but un-manned."  -- The Washington Herald, February 3, 1921

Description:

In 1921, a five-masted schooner emerged from the mists of North Carolina’s treacherous coast - a floating tomb devoid of life. Eleven souls had vanished without a trace, leaving behind an eerie tableau of abandonment. We delve into this chilling mystery tonight and attempt to unravel a web of bizarre clues: inexplicably damaged equipment, missing shore boats, and whispers of aberrant crew behavior from passing ships. Was it a bloodthirsty mutiny? Ruthless pirates? A clandestine rum-running operation gone awry? Or perhaps something far more sinister lurks in human nature’s depths - or beyond? The Carroll A. Deering is a haunting mystery, reminding us that some secrets of the sea may never be fully uncovered, leaving our imaginations to run wild with unsettling possibilities.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

Like many podcasts, the Why Files covers conspiracies, aliens, time travel, and ancient civilizations. Some people are very serious about this stuff. They believe every detail, even if the details don't quite add up. Others tear the stories apart. What fun is that? The Why Files is different. First, they explore the mystery, and then together, we separate fact from fiction and see what's left. Some legends can't be debunked. And those are their favorites. The Why Files is available on Spotify or anywhere you get your podcasts. The X Files said the truth is out there, but the Why Files says the truth is right here.
