Blurb: “Orville and Wilbur Wright were a couple of bicycle salesmen from Dayton, Ohio, who shared a common dream: to fly a powered machine. They weren't alone in their dream. All over the world, men were attempting to fly.
A great trade fair in St. Louis was offering large sums of money to the first man to reach the sky. The Wright brothers were determined to win.
But nothing was going their way. First the wind was too strong for their glider. Then they ran out of money.
And then they got the worst news of all: No company in the world would build them an engine for such a risky venture. Without any engineering experience, they would have to build the machine themselves.
The odds were against them, but on December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright were able to do what no man had yet done — and live to tell about it!”
