The Wright Brothers and the Airplane

By Benjamin Proudfit

In 1903, a beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, became the site of history. There, brother Wilbur and Orville Wright achieved the first powered flight. Others had come before them and flown using gliders. But with their inventions of a lightweight engine and airplane propellers, the Wright brothers started the airplane age. This volume follows their journey to the first powered flight in age-appropriate language and detail. The text is accompanied by historical images and a timeline to aid understanding.
