Everyone knows that the Wright brothers were the first to fly, but few people know that they were engaged in a David and Goliath struggle with their own Federal Government. This book tells the story of the struggle between the Wright brothers and the Federal Government, and the raw ambition, high ideals, and cloak and dagger tactics of each side.
