— A Century of Flight, A Tribute to Dreamers Who Changed the World —
In the winter of 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright achieved what had once been thought impossible — the world’s first powered, controlled flight in the dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. A hundred years later, in 2003, their pioneering spirit and determination were honored with this commemorative Zippo, celebrating 100 Years of Aviation.
These are two of the Wright Brothers series that were released to mark the occasion:
One features the Wright Brothers’ portraits and their historic aircraft, the Wright Flyer, beautifully reproduced on a High Polish Chrome Zippo using Zippo’s newly developed color imaging technique. The vivid detail captures both the inventors and the moment that changed the course of history.
The other edition, crafted in Satin Chrome, bears the official “Wright Brothers 100 Years of Aviation Celebration” logo — a clean, dignified tribute to the enduring legacy of flight.
Together, these pieces embody the courage, innovation, and vision of two men who dared to lift humanity off the ground — a perfect collectible for those who admire history and the human spirit of discovery.
