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

Deborah Douglas uses a small piece of fabric from the Wright Brothers 
flyer as the starting point for a fascinating lecture on the history 
of flight, and reflects on the meaning of flight today.  This talk is 
part of the Museum's monthly gallery talk series, Object Lessons, and 
was held on
December 17, 2003, the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers first flight.

Daalder from the Brookings Institute.

lively talk that is long on insight and not short on opinions.
