  • ... that in the Apollo 11 spaceflight, Neil Armstrong brought two pieces of the Wright Flyer (pictured) to the Moon in his personal preference kit? (Source: "He is most clear about, and most proud of, the pieces of the historic Wright Flyer that he took to the moon. Under a special arrangement with the U.S. Air Force Museum in Dayton, he took in his LM PPK a piece of wood from the Wright brothers' 1903 airplane's left propeller and a piece of muslin fabric (8x13 inches) from its upper left wing."

  • Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
  • Template:Re Sounds good. I've actually just manually searched for the first four references using the input box, using the section and year numbers supplied in each of the {{Template:CodeFedReg}} used for citations. In order of citation number, here are the documents on govinfo.gov: 1, 2, 3, and 4. There the documents can be downloaded as a PDF for viewing, for example. – Aranya (talk) 14:14, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
