"The Wright brothers come alive, warm, sometimes amusing, and always penetrating and analytical."-New York Times.
With little formal education and even fewer business skills, Wilbur and Orville Wright solved the scientific mystery that defeated the greatest minds of their day. This collection of six hundred letters between the two brothers traces the genesis of their flying machine, from their initial frustration to their bursts of discovery and the thrill of ultimate success. Witness the resourcefulness, good humour, and sheer pluck of America's most famous brothers.
