Rese�a del editor

Telling the story of the Wright Brothers, this innovative reference is an inspiring account of their lives and work. Tales about new marvels—automobiles, bicycles, and electric lights, as well as the airplane—complement original paintings, archival photographs from the brothers' own collections, and detailed diagrams, all of which re-creates the turn-of-the-century world in which they first took flight. Also included are accurate explanations from a leading expert in aeronautics and astronautics that tell exactly how the brothers mastered the challenges of obtaining wings. Moving beyond the first flight and offering information about successive take-offs, research and experiments, and airplane licenses, this exceptional resource is an exciting way of discovering flight.
