TENTANG EPISODE INI
It took pride, deceit, and a giant catapult to set off the feud between the Wright brothers and the Smithsonian. On December 17, 1903, the Wrights made history when they flew across a blustery beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

Guests:
Peter Jakab, senior curator at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum
Tom Crouch, senior curator emeritus at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum
