Worth a read submitted by m steve on August 11, 2015, 12:52pm Like most every McCullough book, this is solid history/biography and a fun read as well. I prefer James Tobin's book on the Wright Brothers to this one, though.

Educational! submitted by emroon on July 19, 2023, 8:57am I learned A LOT about the Wright Brothers which I did not know before. I will say, it did not endear me to the Wright Brothers, they don't seem like they were the most warm and fuzzy. I didn't know about the fame the achieved. It was very interesting to learn about their family and their sister. Would recommend!
