Date Sold 8/7/2011Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Autographed Flight Log (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Orville Wright was an aviator and inventor in the early 1900s. Along with his brother Wilbur, was credited with building the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered, and sustained heavier-than-air manned flight on December 17, 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. They did not "invent" the airplane, but they made important modifications to what had been previously created. They sold their patents to the Curtiss-Wright company. Wilbur passed away in 1912 at the age of 45, and Orville lived until 1948, passing away at the age of 76. Important Added Info: Note that this flight log (titled "Airport Register") lists the airplanes that were at the Curtiss-Wright Grand Central Air Terminal on January 16, 1930 to February 1, 1930 (half of the entries are on the back, as shown in our image), giving their name, and much information about their planes, and each of the pilots signed their entry. Orville Wright solely signed his entry, and put ditto marks in all the other fields, except for the date and time of arrival (as did one of the other members of his party of three). Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and sometimes he would find second or third celebrities to autograph an item he already had gotten signed! In addition, he would ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from the Larry Edmunds Bookshop, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic!
