> Wilbur and Orville Wright conquered flight on December 17th, 1903. Few inventions were as transformational over the next century. It took four days to travel from New York to Los Angeles in 1900, by train. By the 1930s it could be done in 17 hours, by air. By 1950, six hours. And by 2016, 6 hours still. http://flightsphere.com/flight-time/from/new-york/to/los-angeles http://flightsphere.com/flight-time/from/new-york/to/los-ang...
