Orville and Wilbur Wright were a fascinating pair. Not only did they invent, build, and fly the first airplane, they were also idiosyncratic individuals who had a unique relationship, sharing a home, a bank account, and a business throughout their lives. Their story is portrayed here in brief, accessible chapters, beginning with their childhood fascination with flight and love of problem solving, then detailing their early experiments and dangerous trial runs in North Carolina, and ending with their successful flights of 1903. This well-researched and personable biography is illustrated with elegant watercolors by flight enthusiast and noted artist Robert Andrew Parker, and will be published just in time for the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' first flight. Timeline, endnotes, bibliography.
Traces the work that the two Wright brothers did together to develop the first machine-powered aircraft.

reviewed To Fly: The Story of the Wright Brothers on November 28, 2018 To Fly: The Story of the Wright Brothers
This book looks at the wright brothers and their life. From dreaming of flying as kids, to printing their own newspaper, to repairing and selling bikes, to creating a glider and flying it. This book talks about who they contacted for help and mentions others trying to invent airplanes at the same time. They also tested different wings to make their own chart for air pressure because the one at the time was old and not correct. This is a great book for a kid, or anyone, looking for a quick read with a lot of information on the wright brothers' life. The back of the book also has a timeline, further readings, and notes. These would be great to go with the text. In case you forgot when something happened in the book, the time line is a great place to look. The illustrations are also very nice and go along with the story great. The pictures help tell the story and give you a break from just reading text. There are many bright colors that really stand out and go together well. Overall, I'd really like this book to use as informational text to teach kids.
