To the Sky?
Aviation pioneer Einar Sem-Jacobsen's
photographs from Norwegian and European aviation circa
1909-1918
The 17th
of December 2003 will mark the one hundred years that have passed since
the Wright brothers took off from the surface of the Earth with the
first flying machine. With a flight of 36.6 metres in the course of
12 seconds, the brothers flew into history. The exhibition To the Sky?
is one of the contributions from the Norwegian Aviation Museum that
celebrates 100 years of flight. We have taken the liberty to shift the
focus from the Wright brothers in the USA - to Europe and Norway to
look at what was happening here in the years after the first powered
flight on wings in 1903.
