The brothers' great-grandniece, Janette Yoerg, is on the board of the Discovery of Flight Foundation of Warrenton, Va., which contributed to the museum's purchase of the flyer.

Yesterday, she spoke with pride about the legacy of her uncles.

"Uncle Wilbur and Uncle Orville invented this plane and then they worked hard to perfect it and then spent a lot of time defending their legacy," said Yoerg, who lives in Edina, Minn. "Our family has an obligation to make sure the world understands their genius."
