    Good read but a bit too much legalize.

    This is a very fine look at the Wright brothers work in developing the first true heavier than air flying machine. The book is a very interesting and fact filled read about not only the brothers but also their father, sister and also Glenn Curtis who became their primary competitor. I did learn a lot about the entire Wright family and about some of the interesting ways they developed the knowledge required to be the first to fly. The book has some very nice photos (some I had not seen before), of themselves, their family and their flyers A in the air and on the ground. The book gets 4 stars from me only because it goes into very great detail concerning the Wrights lawsuits against Glenn Curtis (and others) concerning their patent infringement claims. While the legal ...

    The great McCullough stumbles ...just a bit

    Let me just say it: I believe David McCullough to be a national treasure and u eagerly awaited this book . However, as I worked through the first few chapters, I could not help but think the work was unusually (for McCullough ) superficial and lacking in the degree of detail o have been used to from his works. I finished the book in just a couple days and seldom put it aside to reflect o. The topic or his handling of it-it just didn't stile me as substantial history. I have not read much about the Wright brothers in the past so perhaps they just aren't a riveting biographical topic (which given their impact on history would be hard to accept)...but regardless, I I was left feeling a bit short changed on such a potentially zing topic.

    An accurate historical read but makes you feel like your are there.

    Only on pg50 but hooked. I've spent time in Kitty Hawk NC and read lots about the Wright Brothers but David McCullough delves into the personal lives and inter-relationships between the brothers and their sister. His writing brings it to life......I love it. The beauty of this book as well as other of his is it's an accurate historical read but makes you feel like your are there; historical reading that's fun. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in aviation history and/or life at the turn of the century.
