Historic beige 1.25″ x 1.25″ segment of wing fabric from the Wright Flyer, flown as part of mankind's first successful powered flight at Kitty Hawk on December 17, 1903. Certified and encapsulated by CAG, with the label reading: "Wright Flyer Wing Fabric, Kitty Hawk Flown, 12/17/1903, Ex: Otto Kallir Collection." In fine condition, with a tiny hole at the bottom.
This segment was once a part of a 1:42 model of the Wright Flyer constructed by aviation history collector Otto Kallir using flown material acquired from Lester Gardner, who had received it from Orville Wright's estate. The model itself was damaged after being sold at auction in 2018, and the decision was made to salvage the flown material and make it available to collectors. Collectibles Authentication Guaranty (CAG) was involved in documenting, certifying, and encapsulating the pieces.
