Who Invented the Airplane?: Wright Brothers vs. Whitehead
()
About this ebook
Do you know who invented the airplane? Most Americans believe it was Wilbur and Orville Wright. But what if that's not true? What if a German immigrant named Gustave Whitehead beat the Wrights to the punch, flying a plane he designed several years before Wilbur and Orville took their famous flight? You'll hang on every word as the Wright brothers and Whitehead face off to become the first to fly. Read on for a story full of disputes, determination, and more. You'll never view the history of flight in the same way again!
