The Wright Brothers by David McCullough

4.0

Very interesting. I enjoyed this book more than I anticipated I might. All I knew about the Wright brothers is that they invented the airplane and were from Dayton, Ohio. The image their names brought to mind was that of the photograph used on the cover of the book. Enough detail is provided to give this reader an appreciation of the work that went into that first successful flight at Kitty Hawk and the years of refining, demonstrating and selling later flying machine versions. That their sister and father are important players in the narrative adds to a rounded picture of Wilbur and Orville. I listened to the audio book, read clearly and at a comfortable pace by the author.
