KILL DEVIL HILL: DISCOVERING THE SECRET OF THE WRIGHT BROTHERS by Harry Combs with Martin Caidin; PUBLISHER: Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, MA; 1979 printing; 389 pages. $16.95 price on DJ flap.
Kill Devil Hill reveals for the first time just how two obscure brothers achieved in four years what the greatest minds of the world had failed to accomplish in all history. Wilbur and Orville Wright are often thought of as a pair of bicycle mechanics who were somehow able to stumble into the air with a flying machine. But it was no accident that they were successful in four short years. They were hardly the bicycle tinkerers of popular legend; however, their genius as scientists and engineers was overshadowed by the invention itself--the airplane the world saw.
CONDITION: Some wear to DJ edges. Writing on one of the first pages from previous owner. No other known damage.
