$3700.00

This is the flight suit worn by Peter McMillan during the flight sponsored by National Geographic Society and Shell. It is the original flight suit which is handsigned by Peter to me. See photographs for additional description. Peter McMillan ’81 is a vintage aircraft enthusiast who, in 1994, completed a replica of a Vickers Vimy WWI-era biplane with Australian Lang Kidby. Upon completion, the pilots of the Vimy replica, including McMillan, have since re-created three of the world’s first long-distance flights, which were completed by the Vimy in 1919 and 1920.Inspired by this spirit and the groundbreaking voyages of a particular WWI-era bomber plane, UNC alumnus Peter McMillan ’81 and Australian Lang Kidby undertook the challenge in 1992 of rebuilding the enormous Vickers Vimy biplane, complete with open cockpit and cotton-covered wings, and re-created her historic 1919 flight from England to Australia.
