About this product

Product Information

Brilliant, self-trained engineers, the Wright brothers had a unique blend of native talent, character, and family experience that perfectly suited them to the task of invention but left them ill-prepared to face a world of skeptics, rivals, and officials. Using a treasure trove of Wright family correspondence and diaries, Tom Crouch skillfully weaves the story of the airplane's invention into the drama of a unique and unforgettable family. He shows us exactly how and why these two obscure bachelors from Dayton, Ohio, were able to succeed where so many better-trained, better-financed rivals had failed.

    One of the best biographies on the Wright Brothers that I have ever read.

  • Great book

    In doing geneology found out a relative had married a Wright Brother and while the book didn't exactly make the name sound good in doing other research found out why they perceived the family the way they did....just a good informative book.
