The Wright Brothers Pioneers of American Aviation - Landmark Books #10

Publisher's note: "The story of how Orville and Wilbur Wright invented, built and flew the first airplane while the greatest scientists in the world were still speculating about whether or not it could be done, is one of the most thrilling in American history. In this warmly human biography of the two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, who proved to themselves and to the world that man could fly, Quentin Reynolds brings home to us how truly wonderful was their accomplishment."
