| 520 | _aFew great inventors have left behind them so complete and enthralling a record of their work and their thoughts, or seen their triumph ignored for so long as did the Wright brothers, the unassuming persistant bicycle mechanics of Dayton, Ohio. The sharp clear photographs alone would be a great achievement, especially since they made them with their own hands, employing the bulky equipment of the period, on glass plates. The collection in this absorbing book, together with its extracts from the Wright diaries and letters, deals mainly the four crucial years, from 1900 to 1903, in which they developed the world's first successful airplane. They called it a "flying machine" without comic intent. The setting is the remote Outer Banks of North Carolina, near the village of Kitty Hawk and a large sand dune called "Kill Devil Hill". Odd little known names then, but part of history now. | ||
