The Wright Brothers Legacy: Orville and Wilbur Wright and Their Aeroplanes in Pictures Overview
Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, this book is an in-depth photographic portrait of their monumental work in aviation - and the world's reaction to the invention of flight. From their early experiments with gliders to the first flight of a heavier-than-air aircraft, from their tours of European and American air shows to their development of a military aircraft to the final installation of the Kitty Hawk Flyer at the Smithsonian Institution in 1948, this volume celebrates an invention that changed the world. Composed entirely of photographs of the brothers and their aircraft, as well as such memorabilia and souvenirs as vintage postcards, posters, stereopticon images and toys, the images in this book are drawn from an extensive, private Wright Brothers collection. Many examples are by the Wright Brothers' personal photographer, William Preston Mayfield.
