Wings of Opportunity: The Wright Brothers in Montgomery, Alabama, 1910

In 1910, Orville and Wilbur Wright opened the first American civilian flight school in Montgomery, Alabama. Author Julie Hedgepeth Williams chronicles the short life of this flight school as seen mainly through the eyes of the Alabama press, whose reporting and sometimes misreporting "reflected the misconceptions, hopes, dreams, and fears about aviation in 1910, painting a picture of a time when flight was untested, unsteady, and unavailable to most people."Williams, Julie is the author of 'Wings of Opportunity: The Wright Brothers in Montgomery, Alabama, 1910', published 2010 under ISBN 9781588381682 and ISBN 1588381684.
