Orville Wright 1926 Signed Pilot's License
Pilot's license from the International Aeronautics Federation to a dashing-looking Chicago flyer in 1926 carries the signature of Orville Wright, who with his brother Wilbur made the 1st sustained airplane flight in history 23 years before. For Orville, the worldwide boom in air flight was a personal vindication, since the famous Kitty Hawk flight had been dismissed by many as a cheap stunt by "crackpots." By 1926, he was an elder statesman of flying, serving as the agency's Contest Committee Chairman" and signed as such on the license in black pen, an EX marker of the plane pioneer. Gray 4 x 5" license is VG+ with mild damage and a great sepia-toned snapshot of the flyer.
