On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright successfully flew the world’s first powered, controlled, heavier-than-air airplane. Since that first flight over North Carolina’s windswept dunes and the subsequent flights in Ohio, many others have contributed to realizing the human dream of flight—not merely above Earth, but also beyond the atmosphere. This book honors the Wright brothers’ invention and the contributions of scientists, engineers, daredevil pilots, bold entrepreneurs, military strategists, and creative administrators and managers who contributed to placing human flight among the most important technical achievements of the twentieth century.
