The Published Writings of Wilbur and Orville Wright by Peter L Jakab

The Published Writings of Wilbur and Orville Wright by Peter L Jakab

For the first time, nearly seventy of Wilbur and Orville Wright's published writings are brought together in a single, annotated reference. Spanning the decades from the brothers' turn-of-the-century experiments with gliders until Orville's death in 1948, the articles describe the design of their aircraft, early test flights, and camp life at Kitty Hawk. Because Wilbur's sudden death in 1912 ended any hope that the Wrights would produce a book of their own, the articles collected in this volume are their only published words.

The Published Works of Wilbur and Orville Wright (Smithsonian Institution Press, 2004) was co-edited by Peter L.Jakab, curator of early aviation at the National Air and Space Museum. He currently resides in Virginia.
