Orville Wright signs a check to his grand-nephew, Wilbur, for $57.13.
Check signed: \"Orville Wright\", 8½x3. Dayton, Ohio, 1946 December 27. Check No. 4161, drawn on Wright\'s account at The Winters National Bank & Trust Co., payable to Wilbur H. Wright for $57.13. Endorsed on verso: \"Wilbur H. Wright\". ORVILLE WRIGHT (1871-1948) and his brother Wilbur (1867-1912), had made aviation history with their Flyer in Kitty Hawk, on North Carolina\'s Outer Banks, on December 17, 1903. While the Wrights had been testing their gliders on Kill Devil Hill for a number of years, that day was different. At 10:35 a.m., Orville was at the controls of the 21-foot biplane with the 40.3-foot wingspan. The 605-pound craft, powered by a 12-horsepower engine that had four piston cylinders and revved to 1,090 rpm, left the ground, staying aloft for 12 seconds and covering 120 feet at an altitude of ten feet. Later that day, during one of their three test flights, Wilbur also manned the controls, traveling 852 feet in 59 seconds. The Wright brothers were granted the first U.S. patent for the Flying Machine in May 1906. After Wilbur\'s death from typhoid fever in 1912, Orville continued to be an innovator in the aviation field. WILBUR H. WRIGHT merits further research. Orville and Wilbur Wright had no children, nor did their sister Katherine. Brothers Lorin and Reuchlin Wright had children, but none named Wilbur. Orville and Wilbur Wright were very fond of their nieces and nephews, but if Wilbur H. was a family member, he was a more distant one. Lightly creased. Bank cancellation holes do not touch signature or endorsement. Fine condition.
