The forgotten history of human flight

wikipedia

The American brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright were the first humans to fly in a powered flying machine. But that’s only part of the story. In this special rebroadcast we talk with National Book Award winner Martin Sandler about his book “Race through the Skies, The Week the World Learned to Fly.” It introduces us to the people, achievements and mishaps that introduced the world to the wonder of flight.
