Blurb: “On December 17, 1903, in a fragile little plane which they had built at home for less than $1,000, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first powered flights in the history of mankind-and opened the Air Age.
Why did these two brothers, mechanics by trade, succeed where trained scientists
-working with unlimited funds and the backing of great institutions-had repeatedly failed?
In this biography, authorized by Orville Wright, Fred Kelly separates fact from legend and re-creates the dramatic achievements of two men, self taught inventors who solved the impossible problem of flight!
