Review:
Huffman Prairie Flying Field was the take-off point for more than 100 Wright Brother flights. Torrence Huffman, a banker from Dayton, allowed the Wright Brothers to use his land free of charge for their experimental flights and between 1904 and 1905 the Wright Brothers ran groundbreaking tests that set the stage for modern-day aviation. In 1904, the brothers conducted 104 flights and spent a total of 49 minutes in the air with the Wright Flyer II. Eventually, the Huffman Prairie Flying Field became the home of their new business, the Wright Company. They taught others how to fly and used the field for flight exhibition team practice sessions.
