Description
Opportunities to acquire an iconic piece of not only aviation history, but American history, are exceptionally rare. Here is one of those opportunities. As America’s first truly successful production airplane, the Wright Model B helped shape the future of flight, training some of the nation’s earliest military pilots and playing a pivotal role in the development of aviation in the United States. More than a century later, it remains one of the most recognizable and historically significant aircraft ever built, making ownership an opportunity reserved for only a select few collectors. This remarkable example pairs an Original Wright Engine with a meticulously crafted replica airframe, creating a presentation that faithfully captures the appearance, sound, and character of the original aircraft while showcasing an extraordinary piece of aviation history. Supporting documentation related to the engine can be made available, with authenticity and provenance to be confirmed through review of the accompanying records, through the due diligence process. Whether destined for a distinguished private collection, museum, or public exhibition, this Wright Model B represents a rare opportunity to acquire an aircraft of exceptional historical importance. In addition, N110WE can be returned to airworthy condition, having flown within the last decade. Contact Clay Simmons to learn more about this extraordinary aircraft.
