About The Wright Brothers by David McCullough
Wilbur and Orville wright had no college education—no formal training at all, in fact—and no professional experience working for anyone but themselves. They were not members of the social elite and they had no powerful friends and investors. They received no government subsidies or grants. Somehow, however, they still managed to change the course of history.
On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright became the first person to fly in a plan he and his brother designed themselves. Most of us are somewhat familiar with the more superficial details of the Wright brothers’ innovations. But author and historian David McCullough wants to pull back the curtain on the Wright brothers’ lives. By delving into a wealth of obscure resources, including private diaries, notebooks, and letters, he shows us who the Wright brothers really were—their personal experiences, their interests, their disappointments, and their passions. In his fascinating book, The Wright Brothers, McCullough provides a whole new perspective on two fascinating men who were extraordinarily intelligent, ambitious, loyal, and complex.
