I have no idea where to put this, so I'm just going to throw it out there...
Here is a film clip from the Austrian national archives of the Wright Brothers demonstrating their plane in Italy in 1909. What is even more fantastic is there was an on-board camera on the Wright plane and the last part of this film shows it. It's crystal clear, and apparently the first in flight footage taken - anywhere.

Wilbur Wright is at the controls on both of the flights.
Talk about a heritage flight... This is where it all started.
