Summary
"How two bike makers from Ohio became the pioneers of flight... Today Orville and Wilbur Wright are celebrated as heroes fro their revolutionary contributions to science and engineering. They are acknowledged as the first men to successfully achieve powered, piloted flight. But their road to success was far from smooth. The Wright brothers encountered plenty of bumps, bruises, and mechanical failures along the way! In this first installment of the brand new Epic Fails series, Ben Thompson and Erik Slader take readers through the Wright brothers' many mishaps and misadventures as they paved the way for modern aviation."--Page [4] of cover.
