Abstract:

Johnny Moore is a celebrity, but nobody knows it. Moore is the forgotten man of aviation. He is the one surviving witness of the first power airplane flight, the last living man who actually lent a hand to the Wright brothers on December 17, 1903 when they put their flimsy craft into the wind and flew the astonishing space of 120 feet.
