Author: Walsh, John Evangelist,
Title: One Day at Kitty Hawk: the untold story of the Wright Brothers and the airplane.
Description: NY, Crowell, (1975). 1st ptg. VG in VG DJ. DJ edge wear, one edge tear. Sifting original source materials, Walsh creates a step-by-step account of the plane's invention. It reveals Wilbur as the true aeronautical genius & Orville as very much his junior assistant. Because Wilbur died first, Walsh contends Orville controlled the Wright archives & engineered the history to show an equal partnership. Wilbur worked alone initially & planned & supervised the long series of highly dangerous glider experiments that prefaced the pioneer flight at Kitty Hawk on December 17, 1903.
