Drawing on more than 20 years of research, the book examines the Wright brothers, Glenn Curtiss and the previously under-recognised role of Alexander Graham Bell, with further historical context involving Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Octave Chanute and others. It includes hundreds of archival photographs and exhibits.
