From mechanical tinkering to flight

Orville and Wilbur Wright’s path to aviation began with a lasting interest in machinery. The account traces how their work with printing presses, bicycles, and motors helped build practical skills before they collaborated on inventing, building, and flying an airplane described as the world’s first successful one. The brothers’ shared work and pursuit of flight give this biography a clear focus on the skills and persistence behind an important chapter in aviation history.

Book overview

As young boys, Orville and Wilbur Wright loved all things mechanical. As young men, they gained invaluable skills essential for their success by working with printing presses, bicycles, motors, and any sort of machinery they could get their hands on. As adults, the brothers worked together to invent, build, and fly the world's first successful airplane. This is the fascinating story of the two inventors and aviation pioneers who never lost sight of their dream: to fly, and to soar higher!
