Reviews
they certainly earned my respect
Magicman
as a keen aero modeller. they certainly earned my respect. I hadn't realised so much should be credited to them . quite a struggle to get to the end but well worth it.
Hoosier Reader
Interesting, easy to listen to story of two amazing men who solved the mystery of powered airplane flight. The story is highly engaging and the Wright brothers story is incredible. The reader is top notch as well.
great book! great reader!
