Notes: From a private French collection; to the present owner.
When Wright brought the Wright flyer to Le Mans, France in 1908, he showed skeptical French aviators that he could fly in circles, which they had been unable to accomplish. This photograph shows Wilbur in his plane prior to taking off. - Condition: All items are offered for sale subject to Swann Galleries'' standard terms and conditions of sale, which are published in our catalogues.
