520 |a The authors tale is not so much about wings and propellers as it is about five families--the Wright ancestors - who settle in southwestern Ohio and develop an energetic forward-looking civilization founded on technology and democracy.

If ever there were two men primed and pumped for the technological adventure that would become pioneer aviation, it was the Wright brothers.
