Through episodes and conversations which are plausible enough, the author follows the enterprising brothers from their first adventures in construction, when- aided by their mother, they made a sled with a minimum of "wind resistance", through experiments with kites, printing presses, bicycles and a glider, to the famous take-off at Kitty Hawk in 1903 with an engine-glider. However, the author has created also two likeable young men, eager, inquiring, persistent both in business and scientific projects. With characteristic thoroughness and a solid basis of practical experience, the brothers hypothesized, experimented, chose and rejected so as to realize their dream of flying. A lively boost for aspiring scientists, inventors and aviators. (Kirkus Reviews) Description for Library The lives of two mechanical geniuses.
