First in Flight: How a Photograph Captured the Takeoff of the Wright Brothers' Flyer

On-point historical photographs combined with strong narration bring the story of the historic first flight ever to life. Kids will feel as though they are at Kitty Hawk with Wilbur and Orville Wright as the brothers prepare to test their aircraft. They'll also learn about the history of flight and the skepticism that greeted the Wrights when they, at first, refused to release the photograph of their successful flight.

Reviews

Booklist - Angela Leeper

"Because seeing is believing for many, a photograph can make all the difference. These latest books in the reliable Captured History series highlight the impact of photography in the fields of science and technology. While each book focuses on the single, iconic photograph that now represents the historic event, a plethora of large-scale images provide more context. The photographs and accompanying, accessible text are all set against a white background in a tidy layout." - Booklist
