Letter to the National Aeronautic Association, presented with a flown swatch of the Wright Flyer

TLS, one page, 6.5 x 5.5, personal letterhead, May 21, 1929. Letter to Luke Christopher, secretary of the National Aeronautic Association Contest Committee. In part: “I am returning herewith the complete file of the correspondence between the National Glider Association and the National Aeronautic Association…I thank you for sending it.” Beautifully matted and framed against a 22.5 x 18 photo of the first flight, along with a small swatch of fabric from the original Wright flyer, flown on December 17, 1903, to an overall size of 26 x 22. In fine condition. An excellent pairing of a boldly signed Wright letter with aviation content and a relic from the Wright Flyer itself, combined to make an impressive presentation display. Oversized. RR Auction COA.
