Reviews

[Michael Teter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting fact filled chronology of the Wright brothers successful invention of the airplane.

[Shawn Strope]

This book explains how the Wright brothers started out from a bike shop to making the first airplane. The wright brothers had many planes fail on them and crash before they got in the air. The first flight only lasted 12 seconds but it was a huge turning point in history. I recommend this book to anyone who like airplanes or is doing research over airplanes.
