Review From: New York Times

This amazing biography tells the story of Orville and Wilbur Wright and their family. But this is also a biography of air flight, the controversy about whether they were really the first of not, and the response of the people of their hometown, the United States, and the world. Not everyone was in favor of air flight. The story tells of life in the early 1900's. The Wrights travel all over the world showing others their flying machine as do several other pilots also inventing flying machines.
