Correct Option: 2  

Explanation:
1908
Lieutenant Thomas E Selfridge was a passenger on a flight piloted by Orville Wright to demonstrate the craft for the US Army Signal Corps division in Virginia, USA. Wright survived although badly injured, but Selfridge also hit his head on the wood of the plane and died shortly afterwards. After this the US Army's first pilots wore large heavy headgear. 1900 is the date of the first powered Zeppelin flight.
