The remarkable true story of the birth of human flight, from Pulitzer Prize-winning author David McCullough. On a winter day in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, two brothers from Ohio transformed history. Though the world initially struggled to accept it, the age of flight had begun with the first heavier-than-air, powered machine carrying a pilot. David McCullough, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, shares the surprising and deeply human story of Wilbur and Orville Wright. They were far more than simple bicycle mechanics; they possessed exceptional courage, determination, and a broad range of intellectual curiosity fostered by their upbringing. This thrilling narrative draws upon the extensive Wright Papers—diaries, notebooks, scrapbooks, and over a thousand personal letters—to reveal the human side of the Wright Brothers’ journey, including the significant contributions of their sister, Katharine, whose support was crucial to their success.
