Wilbur also died in a crash of one of those stupid slow flyers........
No. Wilber died at three fifteen in the morning of typhoid fever on May 30, 1912. Not very glorious but true.

They did die. The Write brothers killed at least one test pilot. Let's not forget him. What was his name again?
The first person to die was in September 17th, 1908 Lt Thomas Selfridge of the US Army was killed with a Wright Flyer piloted by Orville Wright. He was a passenger.
