CLEARANCE Aloft at Last Book by Chris Kidder

Rating: Write a Review Act Quickly, Quantities Limited Product Code: BKFFL0019 Inventory Status: In Stock Our Price: $19.99 $10.00 Qty:

Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first successful flights in an engine-powered, heavier-than-air machine at Kitty Hawk on December 17, 1903. In just 12 seconds, they accomplished a feat men had been attempting for hundreds of years. Although the odds against their success were great, the flying, as it turned out, was the easier part of their success. Achieving the credit and the financial reward for their invention took them far longer than designing and building their practical airplane. Based on her weekly Wright Brothers series for The Virginian-Pilot, Kidder explores the life and times of these famous, but often frustrated, aviation pioneers. This is a collection of unique journalistic views on the Wright brothers and early aviation history. Chris Kidder in her distinctive style has outlined the compelling story of the brothers' conquest of the air. Future researchers and historians will find it a valuable tool for years to come. -Darrell Collins, Historian, Wright Brothers National Memorial
