Cub,
"Little did Orville Wright realize that his achievement would lead in less than half a century to the incinceration of Hiroshima by an American bomb..." Which would be at least half-wrong. The Wrights did see the military potential in their achievement. In fact, they thought it would end all wars since it would make it so easy to directly attack/bomb the heads of state initiating the war - and thus really hitting the people responsible for it. Didn't work out that way. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

Victor,
12 HP. As for replicas, they vary widely. The one flying at Kitty Hawk now and possibly on the 17th has an exact replica of the original engine with 12 HP. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)
