Review: Stunning level of detail for a children's book with wonderful illustrations - I am a science and aviation buff, and I have always loved the story of the Wright Brothers. Two brothers of average means with no formal scientific education (just good minds) beat the highly educated and well-funded government operation at discovering the secrets of flight. I find the story inspiring, and want my kids to understand that lots of people were trying to build airplanes---the Wright brothers methodically went about discovering what about flight was missing from the worlds' collective knowledge. They had to rewrite the "flight tables" that the world had accepted when they realized they were wrong. The book also discusses how the brothers would "scrap", or argue a point until they had seen every logical connection through. I always teach my children to leave no stone unturned in an argument, and not to accept anything for face value but to require justification and proof that they can see. Many books on the Wright's don't discuss Langley, Chanute, Charlie Taylor, or the development of the wind tunnel as a tool to test wing shapes on a limited budget. The level of detail is stunning for a children's book. I also found the watercolor illustrations quite beautiful. As a note to parents--there is a lot of text in this book, although there is an illustration on at least one side of each open page. The book is enjoyed by a 4 year old in the family, but he has an incredible attention span. Younger kids or those used to lots of TV might get a little bored. I for one am glad to have a book not just on the airplane ,but on the innovative brothers who applied their brains to solve a problem nobody else could solve.
Review: fast - it was like as soon as it came out it was on my desk you guys are quick looking forward to doing more business with you in the future

After recent trip to Wright Brothers Museum at Kitty Hawk, I wanted to share the experience with my two nephews. I sent the books to them with other flight-related gifts.
