Description

The Wright Brothers tells the story of two brothers who changed history with their courageous pursuit of flight. On a winter day in 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright took to the skies for the first time, marking the beginning of a new era.

Despite having limited formal education and no wealth, the brothers' determination and ingenuity saw them overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Their story is one of remarkable courage and curiosity, driven by their passion for innovation and discovery.

This engaging tale, written by master historian David McCullough, draws on extensive family papers to bring the Wright brothers and their sister Katharine to life. A testament to the power of human ingenuity, The Wright Brothers soars with a story that continues to appeal to readers today.
