Born in Ohio, USA, the brothers' fascination with flight began at an early age. Their first powered aeroplane, 'The Wright Flyer', was tested at Kitty Hawk in 1903. Wilbur's first flight was on 14 December 1903, but quickly stalled and crashed. Three days later, after repairs, Orville flew to 540ft and landed safely after 12 seconds; this was the first powered flight in aviation history.Packed with facts, figures and little-known details, this book charts the triumphs and tragedies of the Wright brothers as they set about making history together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMike Roussel\u003c\/b\u003e has previously written \u003ci\u003eJoe Smith: Spitfire's Forgotten Designer\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as co-authoring \u003ci\u003eShipwrecks of the Cunard Line \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Union Castle Line\u003c\/i\u003e.
