Within the crisscross-engraved clip is a portion of the actual wing fabric of the Wright Brother’s plane that helped it soar through the air at Kitty Hawk. This amazing piece of aviation history is a treasured remembrance of the twelve seconds that changed the world. At the time, Orville and Wilbur Wright didn’t comprehend the significance of their actions on December 17, 1903. They simply didn’t realize that, in a matter of 12 seconds, the future of transportation and aviation technology had been drastically altered. The mystery of human flight, which had stumped even the most sophisticated and intelligent inventors of the world, had been solved by two ordinary men, motivated only by their intense desire to understand, their unwavering courage, and their incredible motivation to succeed.
