| Abstract |
Brief note on awarding of the Langley Medal to the Wrights. Orville Wright has stated (in "Why the 1903 Wright Airplane is Sent to a British Museum," U.S. Air Services , March 1928) that the Smithsonian Institution here misrepresented Wilbur's remarks on that occasion by attributing to him a statement used in a different connection at another time, viz, in his letter, November 8, 1906, to Octave Chanute, who quoted it in his Langley Memorial Address of December 3, 1906. |
