Duchess & Sadie's Spring Domain

The end of last week the temperatures in Durango, Colorado got up into the mid-90s. It seems awfully earlier for it to get that warm around here.

1908 - The Wright brothers register their flying machine for a U.S. patent. The Wright brothers were granted a patent by the U.S. Patent Office in 1906 for a flying machine. This patent was based on the application they had submitted in 1903 that had included a detailed description and drawings of their control system as applied to a glider. Their application described wing warping, as well as the entire system that allowed the aircraft to be controlled in forward flight. The Wrights had also stated in their application that a feature like ailerons could provide lateral control.

The Depression and Dust Bowl era of the 1930s had the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) that gave young men guidance, hope and pride. Many of those CCC workers went into the armed forces during WWII.
