1.dt.Ausgabe. 175 S. Voll bebildert. // Klappentext: "Eine Fotografie - die wohl berühmteste aus der Geschichte des Fliegens - fängt den Moment ein: Ein drachenartiger, länglich dünner Apparat mit Doppelpropeller scheint sich kaum mehr als zehn Zentimeter vom Boden abzuheben. Eine Gestalt liegt auf dem unteren Flügel des Fluggeräts, eine andere mit Mütze steht auf der Seite. Das Zeitalter des Fliegens hat begonnen. Ort des Geschehens ist Kitty Hawk, ein sandiges Ödland in North Carolina. Orville Wright vollbringt unter den ängstlichen Blicken seines älteren Bruders Wilbur jenen berühmten Zwölfsekundenflug, der die Welt für immer verändern sollte. Für die Brüder Wright ist es der Höhepunkt vieler Jahre harter Arbeit. Für die Welt ist es die Erfüllung eines Traums, der begann, als sich der Mensch zum ersten Mal über die Vögel wunderte, die sich in die Lüfte erhoben und fortflogen. Wer waren diese beiden Männer, denen etwas gelungen war, was schon viele vor ihnen versucht hatten - und gescheitert waren? Wiedersprüchliche Gestalten, autodidaktische Mechaniker, ein unglaubliches Team - die führenden Flugwissenschaftler ihrer Zeit?"/// Fast neuwertig.
