I didn't know much about the Wright Brothers before I read this David McCullough book. I didn't know the brothers were close. I didn't know the brothers never married. I didn't know that they lived with their sister and their father until they died. I didn't know that the brothers had no formal education past high school. I didn't know that the brothers learned many of the concepts they used in their invention of the airplane from their bicycle shop.

I learned a lot about the Wright Brothers from this great book.
A song sticks in my head from a childhood Golden record I had...”The Wright Brothers were right....”
