Orville Wright Signed 1939 Personal Bank Check (PSA Encapsulated)

The Winters National Bank & Trust Company personal bank check, dated October 16th, 1939, has been hand-signed in black ink pen by Orville Wright (D. 1948).

The Wright brothers, including Orville, were two American aviation pioneers generally credited with inventing, building, and flying the world's first successful airplane. They made the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft with the Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903, four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In 1904–05, the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft, the Wright Flyer III. Although not the first to build experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible.
