    Wilbur and Orville Wright


    changed history in 1903
    when they successfully built the first heavier-than-air
    powered machine that could fly and carry a pilot.
    Many people are familiar with the Wright brothers, but
    few know the full story of their quest to build the first
    flying machine and prove to the world that they were
    not far-fetched fanatical dreamers. Writtenusing
    Wilbur and Orville Wright's letters, diaries, technical
    data books, documents, proposals, and private family
    papers, this book gives great insight into the curiosity,
    intellectual ability, diligence, and determination of the
    brothers. This book is well-written, readable, and
    exciting, yet still incredibly factual. I highly
    recommend this book for anyone fascinated with
    aviation, engineering, or the quintessential American
    spirit.
