Description
"Although Orville and Wilbur Wright are celebrated today as heroes for their revolutionary contributions to science and engineering they are acknowledged as the first men to successfully achieve powered, piloted flight their success was hard-earned. (Spoiler alert: there were a lot of nosedives involved.) In fact, it took the self-taught engineers years of work and dozens of crashes before they managed a single twelve-second flight! In this first installment of the brand new Epic Fails series, Ben Thompson and Erik Slader take readers through the Wright brothers' many mishaps and misadventures as they paved the way for modern aviation."-- provided by publisher.
