Description
Excerpt from The Story of the Aëroplane
For the first chapter of a book on ?ying, and particularlv of a book which is to be read by Americans, I could not, I think, do better than to make a beginning with the little table which I have set out above. It tells, in itself, in the clearest possible way, the endeavor of two men whose names will be remembered as long as the world lasts - Wilbur and Orville Wright.
For their country, these two pioneers ''have done a very great thing. They have ensured that, whenever ?ying is under discussion, Amer ica must take a pre-eminent place.
