The Wright brothers are known around the world as the inventors of the airplane. But few people know Wilbur and Orville invented the airplane in Dayton, Ohio–their hometown–not in North Carolina, where they tested it. Efforts to preserve historic places in the Dayton region where the Wright brothers lived and worked are paying off. Today, you can stroll the Wright brothers’ neighborhood, see the original 1905 Wright Flyer III and walk the prairie where they flew it. A project to restore the Wright brothers’ factory–the first American factory built to produce airplanes–will complete the picture. In this book, author Timothy R. Gaffney uses historical research and today’s aviation heritage sites to retell the story of the Wright brothers from a hometown perspective.
