In this facinating, highly readable biography, Fred C. Kelly, a former newspaperman, author and an old friend of the Wrights, tells the story of the two brilliant, dedicated, flight-obessed bicycle mechanics from Ohio who first realized mankind's age-old dream of conquering the skies. Enhanced with 16 rare photographs, Mr. Kelly's engaging account avoids minute technical description, yet describes simply and clearly the technological innovations that enabled the two brothers to succeed where so many others had failed. Soft cover, 333 pages.
