FIRST AIRCRAFT FLIGHT- Wright Bros 1903 Poster

Historic photograph from glass negative shows the FIRST powered, controlled, sustained flight: 12 seconds over 120 feet. Orville Wright is at the controls of the machine, lying prone on the lower wing with hips in the cradle which operated the wing-warping mechanism. His brother Wilbur Wright ran alongside to balance the machine and has just released his hold on the forward upright of the right wing. The starting rail, the wing-rest, a coil box, and other items needed for flight preparation are visible behind the machine. Those with a forensic bent can even trace Wilbur's footsteps back to the bench area. Adheres closely to what the camera captured in the original glass negative image.
