Large 1909 sepia photograph of Wilbur Wright making one of his most famous flights of his life, over the Hudson River in an early version of one of his planes.

Large format, crystal clear and with a paper caption on the back, this is being offered here for the first time ever fresh out of a New York newspaper archive!
