Wright Brothers A Flying Start

As young men, Orville and Wilbur Wright had a dream. They believed that one day people would fly, and they were determined to be the first. Despite setbacks that would have discouraged many inventors, the Wright brothers' dream came true. From a windy sand dune near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, they made a short 120 foot flight -- and flew into aviation history. On December 17, 2003, the world will celebrate the centennial of this most remarkable achievement! This biography uses photographs, newspaper clippings, maps, quotes and drawings to explore the Wright brothers' struggles. Also included are timelines of their lives and the history of flight, and a listing of pertinent Web sites.MacLeod, Elizabeth is the author of 'Wright Brothers A Flying Start', published 2002 under ISBN 9781550749359 and ISBN 1550749358.
