The Wright Brothers, Fathers of Flight

New York: Little, Brown, 1930.

First Edition. Hardcover. Very good in a very good dust jacket. 308 pp, with illustrations from photographs. Some uneven toning to cloth, light dust soiling to top edge, pale stain at margin of title page. Otherwise claan and sound. In the scarce original dust jacket, which has some short tears and small losses, but is well-preserved and attractive overall, with the original $2.50 price present. The first biography of Wilbur and Orville Wright. As described on the dust jacket: "Basing his book on the unpublished letters and diaries of the two men, and on data obtained from Orville and his family, the author has laid strong stress on the personal and human side. It is a charming and sympathetic picture of an unusually devoted family life...and of the steady pursuit of an ideal through all sorts of difficulties and setbacks."
