The Wright Brothers

The Wright Brothers Limited Box

The Wright brothers, Orville (August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867 – May 30, 1912), were two Americans who are generally credited with inventing and building the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight on December 17, 1903. In the two years afterward, the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first to build and fly experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made mechanical fixed wing flight possible.

Kitty Hawk Anniversary

I'm looking for this Zippo lighter. It was - as far as I know - only sold aboard the aircraft carrier "U.S.S. Kitty Hawk (CV-63)".
