A Newbery Honor-winning biography of the men whose experiments brought about the Age of Flight. This engaging narrative account of Orville and Wilbur Wright, two men with little formal schooling but a knack for solving problems, follows their interest from a young age in the developing field of aeronautics. Russell Freedman's writing brings the brothers' personalities to life, enhancing the record of events with excerpts from the brothers' writing and correspondence, and accounts of those who knew them. Chronicling their lives from their early mechanical work on toys and bicycles through the development of several flyers, The Wright Brothers follows the siblings through their achievements--not only the first powered, sustained, controlled airplane flight, but the numerous improvements and enhancements that followed, their revolutionary airplane business, and the long legacy of that first brief flight. Illustrated with numerous historical photographs--many taken by the Wright brothers themselves--this is a concise, extremely reader-friendly introduction to these important American inventors. Includes a note on the Wright brothers' photographs, as well as recommendation for further reading and learning.Binding Type: Paperback

Just what I needed
Color: Extra Large - 3Pcs
The bags were perfect medium size fit pair of men’s jeans and 3 shirts and a sweater. The straps were sturdy. It does comes with gift tissue in the package not enough for all bags but enough for at least 2 bags … if you’re like me and like to use 4-5 tissues per bag 😂

Good Size and Quality, But Strong Odor
Color: Extra Large - 3Pcs
These bags are a nice size and seem durable, especially for larger items. However, they arrived with a very strong odor that was noticeable as soon as I opened the package. I'm hoping the smell fades over time, but it was disappointing and worth mentioning. Overall, the bags are functional, but the odor keeps me from giving a higher rating.
