Hidden Images: Discovering Details in the Wright Brothers' Kitty Hawk Photographs, 1900-1911 Book

Tise, an independent historian and Wright brothers specialist, analyzes the dozens of amateur photographs the Wright brothers and their cohorts took in the years at Kitty Hawk, many of which supply fascinating details about the way they worked, the people who worked around them and their failures and successes. Tise includes details of the failed flights, the work shacks (including their small store of food), portraits of the local and curious (and not-so-curious) and panoramas the brothers made of that windswept and obviously sandy locale, the perfect place to fly.
