Overview
In the century since its invention by Wilbur and Orville Wright, the airplane has profoundly changed the world and become an emblem of our time. Here, noted Wright biographer Tom D. Crouch underscores the importance of the Wrights' family, their distinct personalities, and the roles of North Carolina's Outer Banks and Dayton, Ohio, as laboratories of flight. Illustrated features tracing the Wrights' progress, maps, and a fold-out chart depicting the 1903 Wright Flyer and the principles of flight make this an indispensable guide to the Wright brothers' story. A foreword by astronaut John Glenn deepens our sense of their place in the history of flight. Color photos.
