Did they fly in Kitty Hawk or Kill Devil Hills?

Description

Both actually! Although you'll find Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, Wilbur and Orville would have referred to the location of their experiments as Kitty Hawk, the closest town in 1903. Kill Devil Hills didn't become an incorporated town until fifty years after the first flight.
