First Flight, First Fabric--Aviation's Most Precious Relic

December 17, 12:00 - 1:00 PM

One hundred years ago today Orville and Wilbur Wright flew into
history. In the Museum's monthly series of brown bag gallery talks,
Deborah Douglas, curator of science and technology and aviation
historian, relates the story behind a certificate bearing a one-inch
square of fabric-aviation's most precious relic-from the Wright's
1903 flyer, and details MIT's role in the first-ever public display
of the Flyer on campus in 1916.

Free admission; refreshments provided
