Description
English: Orville Wright 1871 - 1948
Orville Wright was born at Dayton, Ohio in the United States. Together with his brother Wilbur, he set up and ran printing and bicycle businesses before becoming interested in flight during the mid 1890s. In 1899 the brothers began to experiment with designs for gliders. In 1903, they built the powered Wright Flyer I which made the first successful powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
