Summary
Are you interested in the history of aviation? If so, you will greatly enjoy The Wright Brothers: The History of Flight (Illustrated).
On December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the first power-driven machine ever to achieve sustained flight rose to the sky and soared through the air for a distance of 120 feet.
Orville Wright was at the controls; Wilbur Wright balanced the machine at the take-off.
As short as this flight was, it nevertheless marked the beginning of humanity’s conquest of the air.
The audiobook describes the lives of the Wright Brothers and gives the history of their development of the airplane, also called the "flying machine".
When you purchase the audiobook, you will receive a PDF with 40 images that record for posterity an epochal event witnessed by just seven men, the Wright brothers themselves and five others who stood that day witnessed the making of history.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
