Otto Lilienthal and his fl ying contraption. In the late 19th century, four men, each at fi rst following his own dreams, ideas and experiments, came together to make powered controlled fl ight a reality: Octave Chanute, Augustus Herring and the Wright brothers. Curiously, their ultimate success is linked to the Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan dunes, where many ideas for wing design were proven. Octave Chanute was born in Paris in 1832, later moving to New York with his father. He took his fi rst job in 1844 as a member of a surveying crew, laying out routes for the Hudson River Railroad. He continued as a surveyor for the next 30 years, and through talent and hard work rose through the ranks to become chief Sinai Temple Deli Day Octave Chanute. engineer.
