Hard Back. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket As Issued. Craig, David - Paintings (illustrator). First Printing. 32 Pages Indexed. A large pictorial book with laminate covers in as new gift quality condition. No defects noted and interior text and illustration pages are flawless. It started with a toy. As boys, Wilbur and Orville Wright loved making their helicopter fly. As adults, the brothers made their living taking things apart and putting them together again: printing presses, bicycles, planes. Through trial and error, these two boys from Dayton, Ohio, built the plane that would change the world forever. With an inspiring text, original paintings, period photographs, and detailed diagrams, this book recreates the story of the Wright Brothers, from their earliest challenges to their final triumph. Wilbur died in 1912 at age 45 from typhoid. Orville died in 1948 having lived to see the jet plane and the atomic bomb. The world has moved faster and faster since that day in December 1903 when two brothers made a plane take off under its own power and fly through the air for the first time ever.

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. ****Die Versandkosten können wegen dem Gewicht der Bücher abweichen----Shippingcosts might be lower or higher by weight of the book.
