Birdmen: The Wright Brothers, Glenn Curtiss, and the Battle to Control the Skies by Lawrence Goldstone
3.0
The story of the origins of human flight was an all out war between multiple parties leading to amazing innovations, landmark legal decisions and daredevil deaths. The author does a great job of proving all the information needed to understand the story and the science, but never so much that it feels daunting to get through.
Prior to reading, I am sorry to say that I had never heard of Glenn Curtiss and I wish I had. He deserves his place in the public vernacular as just as much responsible if not more for the aviation age. I will never think about the Wright brothers in the same way again.
