The story of the first flight over Iran.

10 years after the invention of airplane by Wright brothers, on the 4th of January 1914 (during Qajar dynasty) the first airplane flew over Iran. Mr. Kuzminski, who was a Polish pilot assembled the separated parts of an airplane in Russia and transferred it to Iran through the Caspian Sea. This airplane was ready for a demonstration flight in Tehran and on the due day many of the people of Tehran bought expensive tickets to watch the first airplane flying over their city. Ahmad Shah, the Qajar king and the courtiers were also invited to this show. The airplane had a short flight and the people were amazed but this wasn’t without a trouble. The pilot couldn’t find a suitable area for landing so he landed in the middle of the Mashq Square perforce! Mashq Square was a vast area for military maneuvers and training of the army during Qajar dynasty. It is said that the airplane had a crash with a giant cannon in the middle of the Mashq square but the pilot wasn't injured. The airplane remained in the Mashq square for weeks and the king and his deputies took a photograph with that. The people also came to see the metal bird closely.
