Hard Back. Condizione: As New. No Dust Jacket As Issued. First Printing. 32 Pages Indexed. A large pictorial book with laminate covers in as new gift quality condition. No defects noted and interior text and illustration pages are flawless. 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, this book recreates the story of the Wright Brothers, from their earliest challenges to their final triumph. Wilbur died in 1912 at age 45 from typhoid. Orville died in 1948 having lived to see the jet plane and the atomic bomb. The world has moved faster and faster since that day in December 1903 when two brothers made a plane take off under its own power and fly through the air for the first time ever.
