Summary

Two such trailblazers are Orville and Wilbur Wright. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers changed the world forever when their "flying machine" soared above the dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Orville Wright was only in the air for twelve seconds, but he had made the first powered, controlled flight in history. With perseverance and ingenuity, these bicycle makers from Dayton, Ohio, realized the dream of flight, which had fired the imaginations of people for thousands of years. Book jacket.
