What is To fly : the story of the Wright brothers about?
In the late nineteenth century, when Orville and Wilbur Wright were boys, most people thought that humans would never fly. Even those few who thought it might be possible had no idea how to build a flying machine that worked. But the Wright brothers were different from most people. From early childhood on, they shared a fascination with flight and were determined to solve its mysteries. After many years of brainstorming and experimenting, they did just that: They invented, built, and, in 1903, flew the very first airplane. This personable biography details the lives and work of the Wright brothers and reveals how their unique collaboration resulted in one of the most remarkable achievements of the twentieth century.
