Late in his life, Orville began gifting pieces of the Wright Flyer I fabric to those who helped reassemble Flyer III to go on museum display. A piece of this fabric was used to create a scale model of the flyer that was later damaged. Aviation collector Otto Kallir, worked with CAG to preserve and authenticate the fabric from the model and this is our specimen from Kallir’s collection provenance.
“Owning a relic like the actual wing fabric from Wright Flyer I is almost crazy to stop and think about. The significance of human flight in a historical concept is almost beyond my ability to even comprehend and appreciate it fully.”
