“Jim Meisner tells the story of initial aviation in America with care and drama. He links the principles of good science and responsible development to the Wright family. He shows how they focused their gentlemanly talent and seasonal resources in demonstrating their contribution toward enhancing mankind. This is a message that fits the 100^th anniversary of the first flight, and is suitable for pre-science and science-oriented American school children.

“This is a story of SUCCESS because it reveals how responsibly-ambitious people can select the greatest known problem of their era, research it, learn through its development, and deliver a contribution that greatly exceeds their sufficient and timely reward.”
– Ray Gilbert, Inventors’ Network of the Capital Area, Bethesda, Md.
