EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on February 10, 1910, the Wright brothers, Orville (left) and Wilbur (right), are seen leaving the Smithsonian Institution after receiving the Langley Medal. The prestigious award was presented to them in recognition of their groundbreaking achievements in aviation. Accompanying the brothers are Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Charles D. Walcott (second from left), and renowned inventor Alexander Graham Bell (third from left). Bell, who is best known for his work on the telephone, was a close friend and supporter of the Wrights. The Langley Medal, named after the late Samuel Pierpont Langley, the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of American Ethnology, was a significant honor in the scientific community. The Wright brothers' receipt of the medal marked a major milestone in the history of flight, as their invention of the world's first successful powered airplane had revolutionized transportation and opened up a new era in human history. The Wright brothers' aircraft, which was displayed at the Smithsonian Institution after the presentation, is considered a national treasure and a symbol of American innovation. This photograph captures a moment of pride and accomplishment for the Wright brothers, as they leave the Smithsonian Institution with the Langley Medal, having made an indelible mark on the world of aviation.
