"The Wright Brothers: The Birth of Modern Aviation", written by Anna Sproule, is an amazing biography that explains the lives of Wilbur and Orville Wright. This book takes the reader through the journey of the two brothers' lives and their flight accomplishments. The book begins with the two brothers as children. They were fascinated by the toys they called Chinese flying tops. These flying tops were powered through the air by a rubberband. The boys grew older and continued playing with bicycle parts and using them to design flying machines. This book paints a beautiful picture of the hard work and dedication the two put into the development of the aircraft. Not only does the author do an wonderful good of explaining Wilbur and Orville's journey, but there are also many pictures and sketches included in the book. This book would be appropriate for anyone to read that wanted to learn more about the Wright brrothers' lives, or the development of the aircraft. I would defanielty reccomend this to any of my students if they were working on a Wright brother project or paper.
