Looks like an early one, from before they augmented the tail assembly.

text is legible on the monument and it refers to Samuel Pierpont Langley, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Langley was a pioneer in aviation. Here is article about him from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Langley May 7, 1913] Langley Memorial Unveiled at Smithsonian Institution.

Langley's airplanes didn't work, and after repeated failures he was upstaged in December, 1903, by the Wright Brothers. But because of its allegiance to Secretary Langley, the Smithsonian Institution refused for years to recognize the Wright Brothers' primacy over Langley, who had desperately wanted to go down in history as the first to make a powered flight. Orville Wright donated his original biplane to a British museum, and the Smithsonian didn't get it until after WWII, when they apologized to Wright for the snub. John Flanagan (1865-1952), the designer of this plaque and numerous others, also came up with the design of the 1932 George Washington memorial (bicentennial) quarter.
