The Brothers Wright: The Letters of Wilbur and Orville Wright, 1908-1909


Book Description

The year is 1908. Wilbur and Orville Wright have finally secured a contract with the United States government for the sale of their airplane. But they are not alone. Competitors, who are stealing their ideas, are popping up all over the U.S. and Europe. As they prepare for their demonstrations in America, a new contract in France creates an opportunity for the Wrights to cement their place in history. But if they want to pursue both contracts, they will need to split up and operate independently of one another for the first time. The letters in this book document the struggles of Wilbur, Orville, and the entire Wright family, as they navigate through one of the most difficult years of their lives, in which they face competition, isolation, physical injury and pressure from the ever-curious public eye.
