Wright Brothers

Synopsis

Fred C. Kelly, an old friend of the Wrights, tells the story of the two brilliant, dedicated, flight-obsessed bicycle mechanics from Ohio who were the first to conquer the skies. This book recounts the Wrights' small-town boyhood, their early interest in all things mechanical, the establishment of the Wright Cycle Shop, and the complete story of how they designed and flew the first "Flyer" in December 1903.
