The Wright Flying School, also known as the Wright School of Aviation, was operated by the Wright Company from 1910 to 1916 and trained 119 individuals to fly Wright airplanes.

History

Orville Wright began training students on March 19, 1910, in Montgomery, Alabama, at a site that later became Maxwell Air Force Base. With the onset of milder weather that May, the school relocated to Huffman Prairie Flying Field near Dayton, Ohio, where the Wrights developed practical aviation in 1904 and 1905 and where the Wright Company tested its airplanes. The school also had a facility in Augusta, Georgia run by Frank Coffyn.^[1]

Some of the earliest graduates became members of the Wright Exhibition Team.

1st Lt. Thomas DeWitt Milling (1887–1960)
Calbraith Perry Rodgers (1879–1912) started on June 5, 1911. Within a week, his instructor was letting him take off, fly, and land the airplane, but when he asked to be allowed a solo flight, the instructor said "no". Rodgers then bought the training airplane, a Wright Flyer Model B, the first to be privately owned.^{[citation needed]}

Arthur L. "Al" Welsh (1881–1912) learned to fly and then in the summer of 1910 became an instructor at the Wright Flying School.^[6]
George William Beatty (1887–1955) was taught by Al Welsh, taking his first lesson on June 24, 1911, and soloing on July 23, 1911. That same day, he flew as a passenger with Welsh to establish a new American two-man flight altitude record of 1,860 feet (570 m); and on August 5, 1911, Beatty broke his own record, flying to 3,080 feet (940 m) with Percy Reynolds as his passenger.
