Remarkable and exciting account
Published by PhilC , 3 years ago
This may be my favorite of McCullough's works. It is interesting, informative, and exciting. While the Wright brothers may be a familiar topic to many, this is the best and most interesting account I have read. It shows the challenges faced in a way I never considered, and the innovation and problem solving explained shows how amazing their achievements were. This is an excellent book, whether you are a history lover or not.

learn more about their lives.
