Description

Attractively illustrated 1911 Wright Flyer sales pamphlet

Scarce brochure advertising the Wright Flyer, published by The Wright Co. of Dayton, Ohio, 1911, 10.25 x 7, four pages. An illustrated brochure that describes the various features of the Flyer Model B, Wright Motor, and Flyer Model R, and also lists the numerous records broken by the Wright Flyer in 1910. In fine condition, with a few edge nicks and creases to the paper wrappers. Accompanied by "The Wright Company" mailing envelope.

The Model B was the Wright Brothers' 'traditional' plane, while the Model R was designed for speed and altitude competitions. A great brochure describing the features and abilities of these Wright machines, as perceived by Wilbur and Orville themselves.
