The 1st Military Aircraft
In 1908, the Army started accepting bids for its first aircraft.
The famous Wright brothers submitted a proposal for their seemingly perfect two-seat observation aircraft. The plane met all the standards the military required for its entries and the proposal was accepted by the Army. Unfortunately, not all the military's tests of this aircraft were successful; one ended with the death of an Army observer, Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge.
The following year, the Wright brothers returned with a new and improved plane, known as the Wright Military Flyer, which the Army purchased for $30,000. The military started training pilots using this plane, making it the world's first official military aircraft.
The Wright Military Flyer can now be found at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
