The numbers as colours seems a good one and yet Thalin has posted since with no comment. So if they are colours and it is the Russian Flag / French Flag how does that tie in?
What else could the numbers stand for?
1896 - Samuel Pierpont Langley attempted to make a working piloted heavier-than-air aircraft.
Langley is also a very important pioneer of flight and research into aerodynamics. Until his investigations, research on flight had been restricted to amateurs, with the possible exception of Leonardo da Vinci. Langley was the first person to explore aerodynamics employing the rigorous scientific method.
His first success came on May 6, 1896 when his Number 5 unpiloted model flew nearly 3/4 of a mile after a catapult launch from a boat on the Potomac River.
A keen astrologist he not only made a telescope but he became a professor at Allegheny Observatory and measured the radiant energy of the sun and moon and other stars resulting in the international unit of 'the langley', He also founded the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.
