Wright Memorial Beacon atop Kill Devil Hill, NC
Additional Details:
| Depicts the Wright Memorial Beacon tower and a large stone with a plaque commemorating the first successful flight of an airplane. Several early airplanes are shown flying in the sky. The back describes the beacon tower and the controversy surrounding the original Wright airplane, which was sent to England by Orville Wright after the Smithsonian Institution refused to label it as the first airplane capable of flight. The institution later admitted the rival Curtiss plane could not have flown, potentially allowing the relic's return to America. |
