"THE GIANT LEAP"

Here are individual pieces of original material from both the Wright brothers Wright Flyer and from the Columbia spacecraft which took Apollo 11 to the moon. These small but significant artifacts show how much mankind can achieve in less than three quarters of a century. Who knows what this new century will bring?

For more detail on the piece of wing fabric and its authenticity please take a look at my Wright Flyer page and for more detail on the gold foil from Columbia and its authenticity please take a look at my Gold Foil page. The fantastic 8*10 signed photo below again shows the first flight of the Flyer and is signed by the Apollo 11 crew
