Biography

On a winter day in 1903, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, two brothers — bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio — changed history. Orville and Wilbur Wright were men of exceptional courage and determination, and of far-ranging intellectual interests and ceaseless curiosity. When they worked together, no problem seemed to be insurmountable. Wilbur was unquestionably a genius and Orville had rare mechanical ingenuity. Despite only having a high school education, nothing stopped them in their mission to fly. Published in 2015; 320 pages.
