The Wright Brothers - Kitty Hawk and the Dawn of the Age of Flight
On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first sustained human flight and embarked on extraordinary lives that brought them heroes' accolades in France, Europe and the U.S. Their amazing exploits after Kitty Hawk were a thrill to thousands and their modesty and good character endeared them to all. Acclaimed writer, novelist and historian, David McCullough's "The Wright Brothers" brings to life the story of two young, dedicated American inventors who inspired would-be aviators around the world
