A review by ilovestory
The Wright Brothers by David McCullough
4.0
Excellent as always, as expected from David McCullough. I resisted reading for quite some time as I am not overly interested in the birth of the airplane. However, the book went on sale and I am so glad I grabbed it and read it. Wilbur and Orville, and their sister prove that if you find your path and work hard enough at it you can have more success than you ever dreamed possible.
It is hard to believe that from where they started, spending hours studying the flight of birds, figuring out -- with no college education or particular training -- how to master the wind, we were able to send a man to the moon only 65 or so years later.
