[Gould can 5118.2, silent, 1903]
The original footage of the Wright Brothers’ first powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903 does not exist, as no motion picture cameras were present to capture the historic moment. However, there are well-documented photographs by John T. Daniels of the actual event. This footage is likely a recreation or stock footage produced after the fact, often created for historical or educational purposes. The footage you describe is likely one of these recreations, capturing a stylized representation of the early aviation milestone.
