ORVILLE WRIGHT. Check signed: "Orville Wright", 7¾x3. Dayton, Ohio, 1945 February 6. Check No. 3631, drawn on the Winters National Bank & Trust Co., payable to Carrie Grumbach for $36.31. Along with his brother, Wilbur (1867-1912), Orville Wright (1871-1948) designed and built the first motor-powered airplane and conducted its first successful flight on December 17, 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The historic flight of the 12-horsepower biplane, Flyer, with Orville at the controls, covered 120 feet and lasted 12 seconds. In May 1905, the Wright brothers began construction of Flyer III, the first practical airplane that could be maneuvered to turn, bank, circle and fly figure eights. They were granted the first U.S. patent for the Flying Machine in May 1906. Following Wilbur's death in 1912, Orville became President of the Wright Company and continued to be a pioneer in the aviation industry. During WWI (1914-1918), he was a consultant to the Aviation Service of the Army Signal Corps. Not windowed to show verso. Bank cancellation holes at 3 words of writing, file hole at 1 word of print. Stray ink marks, red pencil check mark at amount. Fine condition. Framed in the Gallery of History style: 19½x18.
