WRIGHT FLYER WING FABRIC


The swatch of fabric from the historic Wright Flyer shown below measures a huge 4.4cm by 4.5cm (1.7inches by 1.8inches). It originates from the Wright family themselves and the certificate of authenticity is signed as such. To have such a piece of history in my collection is indeed a privilege.








A wonderful display featuring exceptionally bold vintage ink signatures, “Wilbur Wright” and “Orville Wright, Feb. 13th, 1909". At the time of signing, the Wrights were in Pau, France, conducting training flights with three French aviators: Charles de Lambert, Paul Tissandier, and Captain Paul N. Lucas-Girardville.
