1903-2003: Celebrating One Hundred Years of Powered Flight An avid aviation fan, Mr. Barnhouse chose to commemorate this exciting anniversary year of the first powered flight by acknowledging the long hours and number of people involved to send the Kitty Hawk to where before only birds had flown under their own power. For years the Wright brothers and their team worked into the night reinventing and adjusting the Kitty Hawk before achieving their successful flight on December 17, 1903. On that day a witness was heard to say, “They have don it!. Damn if they ain’t flew!” Open edition paper: 20 x 28”, image: 14 x 22.” From the original oil. |
