EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Wright EX Vin Fiz, a true marvel of aviation history. Created by the renowned Wright Company in 1911, this wood and fabric biplane represents a smaller experimental version of their iconic Model B airplane from the early 20th century. Equipped with a single 35-horsepower Wright vertical four-cylinder engine, this extraordinary aircraft effortlessly propels itself forward with two pusher propellers connected through a sprocket-and-chain transmission. The vibrant color palette adds an element of excitement to this image, emphasizing the pioneering spirit that defined American aviation during this era. Displayed at the National Air and Space Museum (NASM), this photograph captures not only an object but also serves as an educational tool for those seeking to learn about flight and technological advancements. It symbolizes America's rich heritage in air transport and highlights the significant contributions made by Orville and Wilbur Wright - pioneers who forever changed our perception of human flight. The Vin Fiz Flyer holds historical significance as it was piloted by Calbraith Perry Rodgers on his transcontinental journey across the United States. This daring feat showcased both the capabilities of early aircraft technology and demonstrated how far aviation had come in such a short time. As we admire this stunning piece from Heritage Art, we are reminded of how far we have progressed since these humble beginnings while honoring those who paved the way for modern air travel.
