this book goes throught the lives of wilbur andorville wright. it starts with their births in 1867 and 1871 in dayton, ohio and tells of their facinations with kites. when their father gave them a toy helicopter as boys started bulding their own. they opened up their own bycycle shop and uild those too. they strated building gliders in 1900 but they flew them as kites. after many trials and errors the wright brothers designed a glider that could fly with a man on it powered by gasoline. i like this book because it doesnt have too much into that it drounds the reader but just enought to get them interested. i also like that they have real pictures of the brothers and their gliders. i would recomend this book to those who have a facination with flying or want to know more. i see no problem with this book.
