What is The Wright Brothers (Trailblazers of the Modern World) about?

48 pages : 27 cm A biography of the bicycle makers whose fascination with flight led them to build and fly the world's first successful aircraft powered by an engine and controlled by a pilot. 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 Includes bibliographical references (page 46) and index First birdmen -- Born engineers -- From bikes to kites -- Patience and determination -- Safe and practical -- Triumphant years -- Forward without will -- Timeline -- To find out more
