I have always been fascinated by the pioneering years of powered flight, and in particular by the Wright Brothers. How two bicycle mechanics studied the subject, experimented and invented flying, how far ahead of their competitors they were, and how what they began with a flimsy biplane established world aviation is one of the most extraordinary stories of all time.
(I apologize to aviation enthusiasts for the cover image, which was chosen by my publishers and bears little resemblance to an actual Wright Flyer!)
