Airplanes

I really like airplanes, and I want to learn all about them. I want to know when the first airplane fly. After a Google search, I found out it was the Wright brothers who flew the first airplane. The year was 1903, and the place was Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. But it wasn't much of a flight. Why?

The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. Three more flights were made that day with 
Orville's brother Wilbur piloting the record flight lasting 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet.

Here's what the flight looked like.
