Description
 
At the dawn of the 20th Century, Wilbur and Orville Wright formed a unique creative partnership and on December 17, 1903, achieved man's first powered, sustained, controlled airplane flight. In 1905 they were the first to build and fly a practical airplane.

As scientists, inventors, builders and test pilots, Wilbur (1867-1912) and Orville (1871-1948) Wright clearly surpassed those who studied the problem before them.

On the dunes of Kitty Hawk, NC, they first developed successful gliders before realizing the goal of heavier than air flight. In 1908, the Wrights demonstrated their invention in Europe and America. These flights excited the world, stimulated the birth of the aviation industry and marked the beginning of the Age of Flight.

The visual record of their experiments was a crucial element of their research. Alternating between the roles of photographer and pilot, Wilbur and Orville handled the camera with great skill. Photography provided a visual diary of their lives and accomplishments and proof of their conquest of the sky.

Editors Ron Geibert and Tucker Malishenko have focused on the early flight photographs from the Wright Brothers personal collection of prints. The photographs selected document the research by the brothers before and after their first flight in December 1903. The selection also shows the years of barnstorming around the world as seen through the eyes of countless amateur and professional photographers.

CONDITION: Soft Cover, 1984, USED lightly, 90 pages, 56 photographic plates plus essay by Patrick B Nolan and Ron Geibert. Out of Print.
