NET Playhouse ran from 1966 to 1972, continuing as National Education Television was folded into PBS.
The series would produce dramatic episodes in an anthology format as well as broadcast feature films.
Orville and Wilbur: The Story of the Wright Brothers, starring real-life brothers Stacy and James Keach, is a dramatized telling of the tense time leading up to their first successful flight.
As much as a fascination with aviation, it portrays the tension between the brothers from personality conflicts and extensive failure, as well as their social lives and the urgency as others attempted to create their own working flying machines.
