“You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the

world, but it requires people to make the dream a reality.”

Walt Disney

You can not start a Disneyland Paris Fan-zine without paying tribute to the man who started it all with just a simple mouse.

Walt and his brother Roy Disney created a company that now is part of everyone’s childhood memories and the only compa-ny that keeps providing true magic. Wheth-er it is the magic of an old Mickey Mouse cartoon or the high tech magic of a spec-tacular show like Disney Dreams that leaves you in awe.

The year I was born Walt passed away. As children we saw re-runs of Walt Dis-ney’s Disneyland and The Wonderful World of Color on our television sets and so Disneyland became our number one dream destina-tion. Unfortunately the world was a much bigger place in those days and a trip to the United States was much more expensive than it is today so my parents never took me and my broth-er to see Disneyland with it’s man made mountain, magical fireworks and fairy tale castle. Because he was on TV every week it wasn’t until later I realized Uncle Walt wasn’t around anymore, he almost became a character out of a story himself. What he left behind were not just memories, or films, or a themepark. He taught us to fol-low your dreams and never forget that magic really is everywhere. I don’t know if he foresaw the effect of what he set in mo-tion when that simple mouse took form and it’s squeaky voice became a mighty roar. I do know while the dreams got bigger

and bigger Walt still understood the sim-ple values that make humanity human and shared his optimism and wonder with all the world. He used that power to make the world a happier place, of course with some help of the many talented people around him.

The impact of his work on our society not only changed, and keeps changing, the entertainment indus-try but even has an impact on people’s personal lifes. Dis-ney became a part of our daily lifes, an ac-complishment many companies envy but something the Walt Disney Company seems to handle very well. There’s magic in that name, it can put a smile on many faces for many differ-ent reasons. The Walt

Disney Company has become big business and as long as they keep providing in our need for magic, you won’t hear us com-plaining.

When you visit Disneyland Paris you will find all kinds of memories and referenc-es to Walt’s life, his work and family, scat-tered around the park.. Some are obvious, some are pretty well hidden and some live on in the way you experience the park and in the way most Cast Members welcome you to this Magic Kingdom. Treat it with the respect it deserves, allow yourself to be amazed and remember; all of this was started by just one man who wanted to name that mouse Mortimer but was wise enough to listen to his wife...

Why Create a Magazine for Disneyland Paris?

Because we love the park, the design of the park, the beauty and the detail of the park. We love the feel when you walk into Main Street U.S.A. and travel back to 1912. We are dreamers, photographers and timetravelers and want to share our passion with anyone who is interested and who longs for magic and the days of yesteryear. We hope you all join us on this journey and share your dreams withus...

Disneygraphy Magazine is a fanzine focusing on the photographic beauty and detail of Disney-land Paris. We strive to bring you unique and personal visions of the park through our own photography. Articles done on the history of the park and Disney in general will contain im-ages and artwork of the Disney Company. This is done so with the utmost respect and only serves to tell our story. Care is taken to protect those images and all copyright remain with the Disney Company, Disneyland Paris and all other Disney Companies if applicable.

The main reason I wanted to start a fan-zine for Disneyland Paris is the joy I get from telling people about the park and the way I feel about it. I’m a timetraveler at heart with one leg in the past and one in the future never feeling at home in the present. I have always had a soft spot for Disney growing up with the cartoons and Dis-ney’s TV show. Even the nature docu-mentaries were a regular on our Black and White TV set..Growing up however I kind of lost my inner child a bit. That all changed when we visited Disneyland Paris again and had dinner at Walt’s.. It was the begin-ning of the Christmas season and when we were having our main course the pa-rade went by and it started snowing on cue outside our window. In that very moment the Disney virus struck us both and it never went away. And I hope it never leaves again.

When we first visited Euro Disney-land the magic simply did not work. I know, it is strange but I guess I forgot about my childhood Disney fascination and, though I loved every minute of it, I wasn’t aware of all the stories behind the designs that add so much more to the experience. Obviously all turned out well, like most Disney stories do and you can find us at least 5 days a year in Disneyland Paris. No other European theme park can provide the experiences you find here. Travel through time and space, visit every corner of the world, have dinner at a fine restaurant, enjoy a show or parade , be amazed by all the wonders Disney has in store for you and even meet new friends. I love to see and register how Disneyland Paris keeps changing and improving just as Walt once intended. With every visit new memories are made and we love to share these with you.

Short films coexisted with feature films in cinemas with similar popularity throughout the early days of film. During the 1930s and 1940s, Disney produced a large number of short animated cartoons. These animated shorts would often provide a test ground for the innovative techniques that Disney was developing. Many of these techniques would be used in Disney’s own feature films.

We grew up with these cartoons on the endless re-runs on television after the end of the animated short in the cinema after the 1950s. The shorts and features by the Disney company are as fresh and enter-taining as the day they were released in the cinema’s all those years ago, and can only be described as timeless. It is with our feature “Cinematic Legacy” that we want to honor these classics in our magazine.

ArtistsLonesome Ghosts was one of my favorite Disney cartoons when growing up, part-ly because it was slightly scary. It was re-leased through RKO Radio Pictures on December 24, 1937.

The wonderful animation work was done by Dick Heumer, Ed Love, Izzy Klein, Milt Kahl, Marvin Woodward, Rex Cox, Bob Wickersham, Gerry “Clyde” Ger-onomi and Don Williams. It was directed by Bert Gillett from a story by Dick Friel with the music from Albert Hay Malotte. Lonesome Ghosts features Walt Disney as Mickey Mouse and Clarence “Ducky” Nash as Donald. You can find the cartoon

on the “Mickey Mouse in Living Color” DVD from the amazing Walt Disney Trea-sures series.

StoryIt starts out innocently enough with Don-ald, Mickey and Pluto trying their luck in the ghost-hunting business. It’s safe to say that the assignments are not pouring in for the Ajax Ghost Exterminators, and Donald, Mickey and Goofy are a bit bored.

As luck would have it so were a bunch of ghosts that resided in a Haunted House. The house has long been aban- doned and the ghosts have

away with their pranks. As one ghost puts it: “Guess we’re too good!”.

The ghosts see an advertisement for the Ajax Ghost Exterminators and they de-cide to hire Mickey, Donald an Pluto just to have some fun with them. Excited to have a real assignment the fearless trio jump to the occasion and head to the Haunted House. Our fearless trio arrive at the ominous looking house only to find that there is nobody to welcome them. Mickey decides they should go to work anyway, and the three split up to hunt the ghosts individually. What follows in the cartoon is a series of inventive and annoy-ing pranks that are wonderfully animated by the Disney animators.

Mickey is driven upstairs and tries to open a door, which opens in a splash of water. Donald, meanwhile, is whacked with a wooden board and is scared away

by the sounds of banging chains and dish-es. Goofy, in a bedroom, becomes tangled in a dresser and stabs his own rear with a pin, mistaking his blue pants for a ghost. In the end, the three exterminators acci-dentally become covered in molasses and flour, making them look like ghosts and consequently scaring the actual ghosts out of the house in a panic. The ghost hunters stand victorious, having driven the spir-its out of the house, although not exactly certain how. Donald smugly assumes the ghosts fled in capitulation to their superi-or tactics.

The mastery of Disney animators and their art can be admired beyond the car-toon through the wonderful cell anima-tion, some of which you can see here. The detailing, background paintings and ani-mation really show Disney at it’s best.

QuotesGoofy offers what is considered the most memorable quote while warily looking around him: “I’m brave! But I’m careful.” Other quotes include Donald’s observa-tion: “So you can’t take it, you big sissies!”, or another Goofy quip: “I ain’t scared of no ghosts!” (weakly boasted while hiding from a ghost-engineered scare). This quote was hinted at in the 1984 movie Ghost-busters.

CommemorationsThe game Epic Mickey pays tribute to Lonesome Ghosts as the haunted house

in the Cartoon Wasteland is called Lone-some Manor. This area of the game is mostly based on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland Park, but some of the residents (Gilbert, Ian, Gabriel and Screeching Sam), are straight from the 1937 cartoon.

Appearances:An edited (and silent) version of the cartoon was released as a cartridge for the Fisher-Price Movie View-

er, a small crank-operated toy.

In 1957, the scream sound effect heard in the beginning of this short was used in the fourth episode of

Zorro, The Ghost of the Mission, which aired on Halloween.

The Lonesome Ghosts appear as helpers in the video game Disney’s Magical Quest 2 Starring Mickey &

Minnie.

Lonesome Ghosts was the basis for, and title of the fourth level in the video game Mickey Mania: The

Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse, and its PlayStation version, “Mickey’s Wild Adventure”.

A scene from Lonesome Ghosts with new music appears in Disney’s Magical Mirror Starring Mickey

Mouse.

A shortened version aired on the Disney Channel in October 2009, as part of a show called Disney

Have-a-Laugh, which featured remastered and redubbed versions of old cartoons.

There is a travel map in the video game Epic Mickey based on this cartoon. The Lonesome Ghosts appear

as Wasteland denizens, and are named Gilbert, Ian, Gabriel and Screechin’ Sam.

The Lonesome Ghosts and The Ajax Ghost Exterminators were incorporated into a painting by artist

Randy Souders. Entitled “A Haunting We Will Go”, it was created for the 1997 Disneyana Convention

at Walt Disney World.[2]

In the “House Ghosts” episode of Disney’s House Of Mouse, The Lonesome Ghosts make a cameo, scar-

ing Pete and pulling his underwear.

On the 4th of July 1994, Captain Ne-mo’s submarine anchored in a small Discoveryland lagoon in front of Space Mountain for you to explore. This very accurate and beautiful walk-through at-traction was built by WDI and the great Tom Scherman who was promoted Ad-miral of the Nautilus after completion of this masterpiece. You can find an-other astounding and detailed Nautilus model by his hand in the room dedicat-ed to Discoveryland at ‘Walt’s, an Amer-ican Restaurant’. Les Mystères du Nautilus was based on

Harper Goff ’s iconic design for the 1954 Disney live action film ‘20.000 leagues Under the Sea’ after Jules Verne’s novel ‘Vingt Mille Lieues Sous les Mers” from the ‘Voyages Extraordinaires’ series. His design based on the skin of the alliga-tor and streamline of shark can be seen as an early expression of what we now call Steampunk. Until 2005 there used to be more of a connection between Les Mystères du Nautilus and it’s neighbor Space Mountain. The firs,t and by most considered superior, version named ‘Space Mountain, de la Terre à la Lune’,

28

found it’s storyline in another famous Voyage Extraordinaire by the same vi-sionary writer. Unfortunately most of that connection was lost with the in-stallment of ‘Space Mountain, Mission 2’. The impressive Columbiad canon and some forgotten details are the only things left referring to Jules Verne. A spiral staircase under the lighthouse brings you to an underground passage that leads to the left side entrance on the top floor of the Nautilus. The adventure starts in The Ballast Compartment a room filled with trea-sure from around the globe. Among

these, Ned Land’s guitar from the movie. You continue through Captain Nemo’s Private Quarters where you find person-al belongings like his books, collection of paintings and even his Empire-style bed.

The next room is The Charts Room. Various charts and instruments are dis-played here including one of Vulcania. A staircase seems to lead to the wheel-house and main deck. From here you pass through the Dive Chamber where diving suits are on display and obvious-ly someone left the underwater hatch opened. The Main Salon, the largest room of the

Nautilus, is filled with artefact’s collect-ed by Nemo. As you enter this room a model of a sea creature heralds what happens next as you continue your ex-ploration of this wondrous submarine.When the left iris window opens it be-comes clear the Nautilus is under attack by a giant squid! Fortunately it is repelled by an electric shock. Before you exit this room, can you see Captain Nemo’s face in the or-gan’s mirror at the end of the room?The Machine Room with the glowing power unit , is the last room you visit before you exit the Nautilus through the same underground passage and a beauti-ful view of Discoveryland awaits you. Through the years the experience has been altered due to technical problems and probably the costs of fixing some effects. The Giant Squid attack took longer and used to be more impressive. The organ started to play and Nemo gave a short speech. Suddenly, a 22 feet long tentacle would hit the glass and the iris was shut .Through the smaller open-ing you could see the squid nearing the window and snapping it’s beak. The iris would open again and after a second burst of stronger electrical shocks the Nautilus was safe again.It would be a wonderful 20th birthday gift for the Nautilus next year to have the full effects re-installed.

The very first Nautilus attraction could be found in Disneyland. The original sets were used in a walk-through attrac-tion from 1955 until 1966 when most of the sets were destroyed. ‘Les Mystères du Nautilus’ can be seen as an updated version of this attraction. Another predecessor opened on the 14th of October 1971 in Walt Disney World, ‘20.000 leagues Under The Sea’, a ride similar to Disneyland’s ‘Subma-rine Voyage’.

In the last scene of this underwater voyage, the Nautilus was attacked by a giant squid.In 1994, without any advance notice, the attraction closed for what was thought to be temporary maintenance. In 1996 the closure was officially announced to be permanent. Since September 4, 2001 another attrac-tion based on the 1954 Disney adap-tion of ‘20.000 leagues Under the Sea’ opened in Tokyo Disney S.E.A. Instead of boarding the illustrious Nautilus you board a small Neptune submarine. Nemo’s Nautilus is only a piece of decor in Mysterious Island’s la-goon. Although the original idea of the Nau-tilus being part of a much bigger Dis-covery Mountain has been scaled down to what it is now, the attention to detail, story and atmosphere is what makes a visit to ‘Les Mystéres du Nautilus’ one of the best experiences in Disney-land Paris and a fine example of WDI’s craftsmanship under the guidance of imagineers Tim Delany and Tom Scher-man. I keep wondering however, what it would be like to have an octopus salad in the restaurant that was to be situated in Nemo´s Grand Salon...

There’s much to see and do in this Magic Kingdom so we’ve come up with a series of tips and tricks to get around in this land. This is part one.

Disneyland Paris is the most magical place in Europe. Remember that this is not just any ordinary amusement park with a few fairground at-tractions, the resort is an experience in itself. There really is so much to do that a one day visit may be much too short for first timers to get the full experience. Some happen to find themselves spending most of their time in a queing area and the day that was expected to be magical ends in a disaster. A one day visit is only recommended for those who know their way around and know the customs of this land’s inhabitants. No matter how long or short your visit is, always end a Disney day with Disney Dreams and take some magic back home with you.

Since it is located near Paris, check the local weather reports and be aware that the weather can change from rain to sun and back to rain in less than a few hours. Paris is not California or Florida, al-ways bring a sweater and a small umbrella, otherwise you’re forced to buy a plastic poncho that is a bit unfashionable.

Cast Members are very good in reuniting lost parents with their children or vice versa. Tell your parents how to recog-nise a Cast Member and agree upon meeting at City Hall at Town Square when anyone gets lost. Should your parents, or yourself, need help in a language other than French, just look out for Cast Members wearing a small flag pin with your country’s flag on it. If you can not find one, most are smart enough to recognize the language you speak and direct you to someone that does speak your language.

The Characters you see walking around in Disneyland Paris are real, make no mistake about that! Cinderella IS Cinderella, Mickey IS Mickey and Peter Pan can really fly!

alifornia rillThe alifornia rill is located within the Disneyland Hotel to the right side of the Main Street Lounge. It is one of the finest dining experiences in isneyland aris. This restaurant has quickly become one of our favorites and a must do each trip. Dining in Disneyland is and attraction unto itself and the California Grill certainly is an A-ticket experience.

Be sure to reserve your seats in advance, since the California Grill is also a guest favorite. If you are early you can always re-

lax in the ain treet ounge beforehand. For a special experience it is best to make your reservations as the restaurant opens it doors for service. Last time we were there Chef Mickey welcomed the guests which was a nice surprise. There was plenty of time to take your picture with the host of the evening. Even after we were seated hef ickey came by our table and presented us with our very own signed chefs hats.

Recently the restaurant has come under new man-agement and we can’t praise the service enough as it is now. The service is nice and attentive and not overly pampering. The time you get between meals is just right and they don’t mind if you take yours. The cast members are genuinely interested what you think of the food and their service, so if you enjoy yourself please let them know.

The dinning experience in itself is agical and you really should take your time here. The view from the restaurant is to the north side of the park, so if you

have window seating you can see the cas-tle from your table. This is extra special during the hristmas eason.

The restaurant is in Californian style with much artwork referring to Califor-nian vineyards . The design is sophisti-cated and elegant. There are several ar-ea’s within the restaurant. If seated in the foremost area you really should take a peek in the back. The back area is very special with a handblown glass chande-lier and matching wall lights. You can also take a peek into the kitchen since the wall of the kitchen is entirely made out of glass.

And now on to the most important part of the restaurant, the food. If you like So-phisticated Cuisine this is the dining ex-perience for you. The choices range from Home made Duck foie gras nougat with caramel, Chicken Fondant, Crab and ri-cotta cannelloni, Duck Parmentier, Broken heart of French Veal, Sea Bass in quinoa, Roasted European Lobster, Schoulder of Lamb in citrus fruits. and other fine selec-tions from chef hilippe eneletti. You can read an interview with the chef over at our friends at DesigningDisney.com. Be sure to try a dish with the chefs signature Foie Gras au Carambar. A chewy, cara-mel based candy which works very well with the meaty dishes of the restaurant. Choose your wine from a selection of the finest French and Californian vintages.

Special mention must go to the deserts by the restaurant’s Pastry Chef.These deserts are a sight to behold and are truly works of art. Inspired by Disney Fairytales, the deserts are magical indeed with names like now hite’s empta-tion or The eauty and The east fla-voured with “rovins ose”.

If you want to taste pure appiness, the California Grill is the place to go.

Mary Blair was honored as a Disney Leg-end in 1991, and rightfully so. The stylish-ness and vibrant color of Disney films in the early 1940s through mid-1950s came primarily from artist Mary Blair. She was one of the key figures in the art move-ment known as “Cartoon Modern” be-tween the 1940s and 1960s. Most of this time Mary spend at the Disney company which she joined in 1940, along with her husband Lee.

During those initial years Mary was one of many animators on the lot during a time period in which Disney had hun-dreds of people working for him. She didn’t know Walt Disney personally at that time nor had much interaction with him.

That all changed when the South Ameri-

can Goodwill Tour came about. Her hus-band Lee Blair was asked to join the crew of artists going down to South America, after which Mary marched into Walt’s office and asked if she could join them on their 3 month journey. Walt agreed to her joining and within that trip, Walt and Mary became good friends.

South American Goodwill TourIn early 1941, before U.S. entry into World War II, the United States Department of State commissioned a Disney goodwill tour of South America, intended to lead to a movie to be shown in the US, Cen-tral, and South America as part of the Good Neighbor Policy. Disney was cho-sen for this because several Latin Ameri-can governments had close ties with Nazi Germany, and the US government want-

ed to counteract those ties. This resulted in the 1942 movie Saludos Amigos (Hello, Friends in English).

While in South America, Mary Blair found her own style of art. Her passionate “explosion of color” style began to emerge

during the many days Mary spend here. Many works by the Disney artists would later serve as inspiration for later produc-tions and Mary’s work was no exception.

Mary and DisneyMary also became Walt’s favorite artist at the studio and allowed her to move up the ladder upon returning to the studio. She first started out as an art supervisor for Saludos Amigos and had done concept art for the film while on the tour. Her breakout point, and the really noticeable distinction in her art, comes to focus in The Three Caballeros.

Mary’s concept drawings led to several scenes in The Three Caballeros includ-ing one scene of Jose and Donald taking a train across Brazil. Jose would return to this movie in several segments, taking a more prominent role in the film than in Saludos Amigos.

In the book “Walt’s People Volume 1: Talking Disney With The Artists Who Knew Him” Joyce Carlson, who had worked with Mary Blair on the “It’s a Small World” ride shares her personal rec-ollections of Blair:

Mary was very friendly and very artistic. She

had a lot of glasses. She used to have a lot of dif-

ferent colored contact lenses as well. She used to

wear green or blue or any color to go with the out-

f it she was wearing that day. I ’d watch her put

them in and I thought, “I wouldn’t want to wear

those.” Maybe that affected her colors. Her colors

were always bright. She used theatrical gels and

cut them up and put them on top of her artwork.

I had to match the colors she picked and that was

a problem because those colors didn’t exist with

the paints we had. I had to go and get some of the

paints from the ink and paint department and

mix them in with our paint and they didn’t always

mix well. It was like painting with mud. When I

worked with her on the mural in the Walt Disney

World Contemporary Hotel, it was a little easier

because the tile work wasn’t as bright like Small

World but it was still tough. I would f inally get

what she wanted but it took time.

Mary painted very flat and it wasn’t very dimen-

sional. We often had to cut pieces of Styrofoam

for her and let her move them around. She wasn’t

always happy how her artwork got translated to

This is a charming image of Peter Pan and the Mermaids. Created by Mary Blair as a pre-production

concept illustration, it’s one of Disney Studios’ earliest attempts to visualize J. M. Barrie’s classic children’s

book. This would be artist Blair’s last feature f ilm project for Disney as she opted for a career in advertis-

ing; however, she was lured back in the early 1960s to help design Disneyland’s “It’s a Small World” at-

traction.

animation, but she was happy with the f inished

product of Small World, I think. Of course, other

hands were involved as well. Mary would let us

put our ideas together and she’d pick things we’d

do and put them in the show. I created a card-

board giraffe for the Africa scene and Mary loved

it and put it in. We’d always be changing charac-

ters and adding things.

The Big Three: Cinderella, Alice & PeterIt is very hard to find any substantial background information on Mary Blair and her influence on the Disney produc-tions. Whereas artists like Tom Oreb and Eyvind Earle were able to get their work faithfully onto the screen, Blair’s work was usually relegated to being ‘inspirational’ and was too often interpreted (and wa-tered down) by other artists.

Mary was a good friend of Walt, but the realities of the Disney studio were that she really didn’t get the opportunity to control the look of a film in the way that production designers like Tom Oreb, Eyvind Earle and Walt Peregoy did. How-ever, her presence is strongly felt in some of the 1950s features, like Alice in Won-

derland, Cinderella and Peter Pan. After Peter Pan was completed, she left the Walt Disney Company and worked as a free-lance graphic designer and illustrator and created many advertising campaigns as well as illustrated several Little Golden Books.

It’s a Small WorldAfter her departure from the Disney company, Walt himself asked her to work for him again on “PEPSI Presents Walt Disney’s “It’s a small world” – a Salute to UNICEF and the World’s Children” for the 1964 New York World’s Fair’s UNICEF pavilion. “It’s a Small World “ became Mary’s best known work. This attraction was transported to Disneyland after the fair closed and became one of the most popular attractions world wide as it was replicated in the Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland. Mary Blair furthermore created mural art for ‘Tomorrowland’, a mural for ‘Adventure through Inner Space’ and a 90 foot mural for the Con-temporary Resort at Walt Disney World,

the only one that is still visible.Chips of the Tomorrowland mural that was destroyed can be found on the terrace of Bella Notte, in Disn-eyland Paris as a small tribute to Mary Blair. When in Disn-

eyland Paris, have a look at the remains of the mural of take a ride on It’s a Small World which is the best expression of her love of texture, color and collage art, al-ways “innocent” and undeniably… Mary Blair.

Attractions, thrill-rides and other forms of fun and entertainment. It’s all good and well, but when the Que is 60 minutes or more it can be a different story.Disney however has perfected and is continuing to perfect the art of keeping your guests entertained while waiting to hop aboard their adventure of choice. In our opin-ion Disney has some of the most brilliant waiting area’s, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril is one of our favorites. It’s one of those rare occasions were you’re se-cretly hoping for a long line so the Que gets to all the hidden corners where there’s more of the famous Disney imagineering to see. Especially in the evening this Que-area is magical. The background music from Indiana Jones by composer John Williams en-hances the feel you are in the middle of the Jungle of some exotic location and every corner holds hidden treasures.

In a quiet corner of Town Square, just op-posite the famous Discovery Arcade lies the small store of the Wright Brothers. Walk too quickly to Space Mountain or Fantasyland, and you’ll miss it. The store is of course The Kitty Hawk and it’s one of those Disneyland Paris details that is steeped in American History.

The store is obviously closed for business at the moment. The bikes and parts are nicely displayed in the windows. I guess

you’ll have to wait judg-ing by the sign that says “Closed for Flight Testing”. The casual visi- tor of Disneyland will overlook such wonderful attention to detail. That’s a shame, because Disne-yland Paris is littered with such details, nods to American history, and nods to Disney’s own history. Even such a small sign, such a minute detail within the whole of the park tells a complete story in itself.

The Wright BrothersThe Wright brothers, Orville (August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867 – May 30, 1912), were inventors and aviation pioneers. They are credited with inventing and building the world’s first successful airplane. The brothers’ fundamental breakthrough was their in-vention of three-axis control, which en-abled the pilot to steer the aircraft effec-tively and to maintain its equilibrium. This method became standard and re-mains standard on fixed-wing aircraft of all kinds to this day.

63

They gained the mechanical skills essen-tial for their success by working for years in their shop with printing presses, bicy-cles, motors, and other machinery. Their work with bicycles in particular influ-enced their belief that an unstable vehicle like a flying machine could be controlled and balanced with practice.

The brothers were perhaps not the first to build and fly experimental aircraft, but they were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible. The U.S. Smithsonian Insti-tution describes the Wright Flyer as “the first powered, heavier-than-air-machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard”. Needless to say that the ef-forts of the Wright Brothers are regarded

as the dawn of aviation.

The Bicycle shopThe name of the bicycle shop in Main Street, Disneyland Paris is Kitty Hawk. In real life the name of the shop of the Wright Brothers was called the Wright Cycle Company. Orville and Wilbur be-gan their bicycle repair business in 1892. They were capitalizing on the national bicycle craze which was spurred by some new inventions in bike designs. During

their initial years they rented and sold bi-cycles.However, after 1896 they began manufac-turing and selling bicycles of their own design. They named their own designs af-ter their ancestors, the Van Cleve and St. Claire.Among their inventions for bicycles were the self-oiling hub and an innovation for the crank arm. They also ran a printing shop on the second-floor of their rented brick building at 22 South Williams St., Dayton, Ohio. From 1892 until 1908 the brothers owned 5 bicycle shops in the Dayton area:

* 1892—Wright Cycle Exchange at 1005

West Third Street.

* 1893 to 1894—Wright Cycle Exchange at

1034 West Third Street. The name later changed

to Wright Cycle Co.

* 1895 to 1897—Wright Cycle Co. at two

locations—the main store at 22 South Williams

Street, and a branch store in downtown Dayton

at 23 West Second Street. The branch Closed In

1896.

* 1897 to 1908—The Wright Cycle Co. at

1127 West Third Street.

During those years the brothers became obsessed with aerodynamics. They were inspired to start their own aerodynamic ventures by 3 aeronautical events:

64

65

* In May, Smithsonian Institution Secretary

Samuel Langley successfully flew an unmanned

steam-powered model aircraft.

* In mid-year, Chicago engineer and aviation

authority Octave Chanute brought together sev-

eral men who tested various types of gliders over

the sand dunes along the shore of Lake

Michigan.

* In August, the German

aeronaut Lilienthal was

killed in the plunge of his

glider.

These events stuck in the consciousness of the two endeav-ourous brothers.Drawing on the work of Sir George Cayley, Chanute, Lilien-thal, Leonardo da Vinci, and Langley, they began their mechanical aeronautical experimentations that year.

The Wright brothers used the profits from their bicycle shops to finance their aviation experiments. They even build a

wind tunnel in the bicycle shop. From October to December, 1901 they used the wind tunnel to test over 200 designs of wings. It was in the bicycle shop where the brothers designed and constructed their gliders and eventually their first

airplane, the Wright Flyer. In would cost them under

$ 1.000,- to build the flyer.

Flight trials at Kitty HawkUsed as the name of the bicycle shop in Disneyland Par-is, the name Kitty Hawk refers to a

small town on the outer banks of North

Carolina. The broth-ers had lived in the town

before, and in 1903 they re-turned to Kitty Hawk to continue

the flight testing they had started in Day-ton, Ohio. During this period, the broth-ers completely assembled a new glider, while continuing testing on the 1902 glid-

First flight was tested with success on December 17 ,1903 at Kitty Hawk,north carolina at about 10:30 AM with Orevelle Wright, Wilbur Wright and five other witnesses.

er from the previous season in Dayton.

On December 14, 1903, the brothers felt they were ready to attempt their first pow-ered flight. With the help of some local men from a nearby life-saving station, they moved their flyer and a special launching rail to a sand dune at Big Kill Devil Hill, about four miles from Kitty Hawk. They tossed a coin to decide who would get the first chance at piloting. Wilbur won the bet and piloted the Flyer that day. Unfor-tunately, when the flyer left the rail, he pulled up to quickly and came down after 3 seconds with minor damage to the flyer. The repairs to the flyer took the brothers 3 days.

December 17, 1903The brothers felt they were ready again on December 17, 1903. The wind was blowing more than 20 miles per hour. This time the wind provided the necessary airspeed needed for takeoff. Wilbur already had his shot earlier that month, so this time Orville took his turn at the controls. His attempt was at long last successful, and lasted 12 seconds for a total distance of 120 feet (36.5 meters). They flew their fly-er four times that day on the Kill Devil Hills. The last flight that day, by Wilbur, lasted for 59 seconds and was 852 feet (260 meters) long. Their landings were un-intentionally bumpy, and the last flight broke the front elevator supports. While they were repairing the flyer for a possible longer flight, a gust of wind picked up the flyer and damaged it beyond any quick re-pairs. The flyer was never flown again, but history was made that day.Both Brothers were never married. Wilbur is quoted in saying that he “did not have time for both a wife and an airplane”.

Next time when you’re in Disneyland Par-is, be sure to have a look at this quiet cor-ner of Town Square that has so much his-tory.
