Book Review - Read About The Courageous Effort from Wilbur and Oliver Wright Brothers from David McCullough


Book Review - ‘The Wright Brothers’ by David McCullough
We all are aware about what Wilbur and Oliver Wright gave to this world. But, very few among us know the courageous effort that the two brothers put forward. Two time Pulitzer Prize winner David McCullough has written a book “The Wright Brothers” which pulls up the curtain from the dramatic story behind the story.

It is definitely a book that can be described as “Books Our Best Friend: Books To Read”

It was just another winter day of 1903, but, history was to be in the making on this day by two unknown brothers from Ohio on the outer banks of North Carolina. What will happen today will be something that the world will take some time to swallow.

Who were Wilbur and Oliver Wright and how did they manage to achieve this remarkable feat?

David McCullough has penned down another wonderful book “The Wright Brothers” and this time he uncovers the mystery surrounding Wilbur and Oliver Wright.

These unschooled Dayton bicycle mechanics were just other neighbourhood guys, before the world came to know and realize about their exceptional determination and courage. The Wright Brothers had endless amount of curiosity and extensive intellectual interests, something which the two brothers attribute to how they were brought up.

There was no indoor plumbing and electricity in the house they lived in, but one thing that was in ample amount was the books. Their preacher father supplied them with loads of book and the Wright Brothers never ceased to read.

Wilbur, without a second thought, was a genius, and Oliver had that phenomenal mechanical ingenuity. With little money in their pocket and just a high school education to back them up, no force was strong enough to stop them from taking to air.
