"The Wright Brothers" -Mike Venezia

Let me just say that I read this because Mike Venezia writes great biographies! They are full of comics, irony, and facetiousness. There are tons of books in his portfolio.

Follow the journey of the Wright brothers from the early years of taking their toys apart to their early bicycle shop to flying over France, complete with talking seagulls.
