David McCullough’s “The Wright Brothers” is a captivating journey into the lives of Wilbur and Orville Wright. As I delved into their story, I was struck by the brothers’ unwavering determination and ingenuity. McCullough’s vivid prose brings their workshop to life, and I could almost smell the wood shavings and hear the whir of bicycle wheels. This isn’t just a tale of invention; it’s a deeply human story of two ordinary men who dared to dream of flight. Their perseverance in the face of skepticism and setbacks is truly inspiring.
