For all of my interest in and reading about aviation I had never read a bio of Orville and Wilbur Wright. Well I fixxed that and this is an excellent read on the subject. They were really amazing men and the story is a bit more involved than I had thought. The writing style of the author is very good to, easy to read. Had a rain day that kept me in the office Monday and I read the first 195 pages in one sitting. Finished Tuesday evening.



The Wright Brothers by David McCullough
