Colleen’s Reviews > The Wright Brothers > Status Update

I am enjoying the book. I am awestruck by how uninterested most people were by the flying experiments performed by Wright brothers. Many if not most referred to their efforts as piteous. I revere the Wright Brothers, I think, for their brilliance but maybe more so for their unflagging pursuit of excellence and dream.

I am kind of awe-struck by how uninterested people were in the "short flying" experiments made by the Wright Brothers and how,for the most part, people thought their efforts were pathetic. Guess that's because I have the advantage of looking backwards.
