Description

The names Wilbur and Orville Wright stand out in history as the inventors of the airplane. The Wright Brothers were the first to succeed, thanks to a combination of courage, genius, and downright stubbornness! The Wright Brothers’ father dominated their lives, trying to control their every thought and action. Milton Wright wanted his sons to succeed in their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, not risk their lives. He saw no reason for his sons to risk everything on isolated, windy Kitty Hawk beach in faraway North Carolina. He tried to quash their dream, but Orville and Wilbur rebelled, ultimately proving the impossible by flying on Dec. 17, 1903. This novel tells how they brought the dawn of the aviation industry.
