Notes

This book combines biography, history, and science to tell the story of the Wright Brothers from their boyhoods in turn-of-the-century Ohio, to their first successful flight in Kitty Hawk, NC to their worldwide fame and renown. It has easy text, and large photographs and illustrations that show the Wright Brothers as little boys, flying in their glider, their first plane. There are also experiments you can do at home that will demonstrate air pressure, and how a jet engine works. You will learn about flight - from kites to gliders to jet planes. A timeline and index provide supplementary materials.
