Just finished “The Wright Brothers“ by David McCullough.

Excellent writer, and of course an interesting subject.

Reminds me shortly before Orville’s death, Howard Hughes (Owner of TWA) and Jack Frye (President of TWA) stopped by Dayton, Ohio. They picked up Orville in one of the first Connies, a pressurized “modern” piston driven aircraft. It was the last flight for him. He even flew it. What a thrilling story.
