EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a historic moment in American aviation. The Monument to a Century of Flight stands tall against the backdrop of a breathtaking coastal dawn in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. As the birthplace of flight, this monument pays homage to the Wright brothers' groundbreaking achievement that forever changed the course of human history. The image showcases the deep South's rich cultural heritage and its close connection with nature. The tranquil waters and vast expanse of sand dunes reflect the untouched beauty found along America's eastern coast. It is within these very surroundings that Orville and Wilbur Wright took their first successful flight on December 17,1903. The photograph beautifully captures both serenity and power as it highlights not only an iconic memorial but also symbolizes freedom and progress through aviation. Walter Bibikow skillfully frames this scene, allowing viewers to appreciate every detail – from the intricate design of the monument itself to its harmonious integration with nature. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how far humanity has come since those humble beginnings at Kitty Hawk over a century ago. This print serves as a testament to our relentless pursuit of innovation and exploration while honoring those who paved the way for future generations in aviation history.
