First to Fly: How Wilbur and Orville Wright Invented the Airplane

It started with a toy. As boys, Wilbur and Orville Wright loved making their helicopter fly. As adults, the brothers made their living taking things apart and putting them together again: printing presses, bicycles, planes... Through trial and error, these two boys from Dayton, Ohio, built the plane that would change the world forever.

With an inspiring text, original paintings, period photographs, and detailed diagrams, First to Fly recreates the story of the Wright Brothers, from their earliest challenges to their final triumph.
