Mint. MNH. No flaws. From a Smoke-free and Pet-free Environment.

The U.S. Postal Service issued these 37¢ First Flight, Wright Brothers adhe­sive stamps on May 22, 2003 in Dayton, OH and Kill Devil Hills, near Kittyhawk, NC - to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' first flight. This stamp pane, designed and illustrated by McRay Magleby of Provo, UT, features images of the Wright brothers and their aircraft.

     This souvenir pane commemorates the 100th anniversary of the first controlled, powered, and sustained flight in a heavier-than-air flying machine. At Kill Devil Hills on December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright successfully tested a flyer with a 4-cylinder engine. During the first flight, the craft was airborne only for an estimated 12 seconds and traveled only 120 feet, but three even more successful flights followed later that day, the remarkable prelude to a century that would see the world forever changed by air travel.
