These videos, drawn from the Ivonette Wright Miller Collection (MS-216), document public events and oral history interviews related to the Wright family, early aviation, and the preservation of aviation heritage at Wright State University. The recordings include the dedication ceremony for the Wright Brothers Room and multiple oral history interviews with Ivonette Wright Miller and husband, Harold S. Miller, offering firsthand accounts of Wright family life, early flight experiences, World War I military aviation, and the decision to place the Wright Collection at Wright State University. Together, these videos highlight Dayton’s central role in aviation history and preserve Miller’s personal perspectives on the legacy of Orville and Wilbur Wright.
