About this ebook
When Milton Wright, a young clergyman brought home a toy helicopter, he couldn't be more accurate about the choice of a present for his little boys, Wilbur and Orville, the world knows as the Wright brothers. The toy was a harbinger of a historical invention. This is the story of two brothers who relentlessly worked to achieve their mission to fly. It is an incredible journey of troughs and crests, of unimaginable grit and tenacity, inexpressible agony and dejection to finally taste an ounce of success. The Wright brothers first flight in Kitty Hawk is the first time man could fly and that story of success is known to all and sundry. But their life was never devoid of failures or pain. It was an incredulous ride, one fraught with dejection, insurmountable hurdles, repeated failures, lack of acceptance and above all the uncertainty of living up to their own expectations. The top brass in aviation industry and corporate big shots swoop down on the brothers and create an imbroglio of legal feud that the brothers need to fight tooth and nail to prove their legitimacy. Standing firm on their ground even when media made ribaldry of their dream mission, the Wright brothers fight unflinchingly to prove their claims are legit and to redeem their position as the first to build a powered and manned airplane. When one brother meets with an untimely demise, the other is left bereft and alone. Unable to match up to the business tactics that the vast aviation industry is mired in, the surviving brother quits business. Hold your breath and read the story of the world famous Wright brothers who strive to be acclaimed flyers but are constantly ridiculed by media as bluffers.
