Description: This carefully rendered, well-researched coloring book spotlights the two inventors who achieved the first successful heavier-than-air powered flight. Thirty accurate ready-to-color drawings trace the experiments and activities of Wilbur and Orville Wright from their initial glider tests (1900) and the flight of the Wright Flyer I in 1903 to a picture of Orville at the controls of an aircraft in 1947 -- one year before his death. Also included are views of the Wright family in 1878; Felix du Temple flying a hot air engine-powered aeroplane (1874); Octave Chanute and his glider (1901); and many other historic images. Informative captions accompany the illustrations in a collection certain to delight coloring book fans as well as enthusiasts of aviation history.
