“Not in a thousand years would man ever fly.”
This is the story of two brothers and the dream of controlled, sustained, and powered flight in a heavier-than-air flying machine.
The Wrights are a tight-knit bunch. A supportive family. So perhaps it’s not surprising that, when Wilbur sinks into a deep, dark depression brought on by a terrible beating, his brother Orville is there for him. Just like Will and their sister Kate are there for Orv when Typhoid nearly takes his life. These siblings are thick as thieves, even if Kate opts for college while “the boys” go for starting their own print shop and bicycle company. They also have each other’s backs when Will rediscovers his childhood dream of flight. He and Orv pursue it relentlessly and for years on end among North Carolina’s sandy beaches just outside of Kitty Hawk.
Determination. Failure. Risk-taking. Scientific discovery. Family. This is the story of the Wright brothers.
