Description
Wright Brothers: Piece of Original Wright Flyer Fabric on Presentation Certificate in Framed Display. A 1.75" x 1.75" patch of fabric from the plane flown by Orville Wright at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, an event recognized as the first documented flight of a heavier-than-air plane. The 8" x 10" (sight size) certificate is signed by Harold S. Miller, as co-executor of the Orville Wright estate. The certificate also features a signature by Ivonette Wright Miller, Orville's niece, who served as the semi-official Wright family historian. She became the third American woman to fly in an airplane on August 29, 1911 when she rode alongside her uncle Orville in the Wright B Flyer. She was instrumental in the Smithsonian Institution's acquisition of the original 1903 Wright Flyer. Beautifully double matted and framed to an overall 16.75" x 20.75". Excellent.Auction Info
