Description
The Wright Flyer marked the beginning of the modern aviation era, and today it welcomes millions of visitors every year to the National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall. This dimensional painted metal ornament is a perfect keepsake from a visit to the museum and a great gift for aviation buffs young and old.
The Wright brothers inaugurated the aerial age with the world's first successful flights of a powered heavier-than-air flying machine. The Wright Flyer was the product of a sophisticated four-year program of research and development conducted by Wilbur and Orville Wright beginning in 1899.
