The Wright Brothers Photographs: Wilbur and Orville Wright's Original and Extraordinary Images Documenting the Birth of Flight

I found this book to be a never-before-seen look into the lives of the Wright brothers. The pictures that this book features are really incredible. Anyone interested in turn of the century photography, aviation, or wright brothers history buffs will find this book to be a nice addition to any book collection. A lot of the photos were taken by the Wright brothers themselves, and its fascinating to see what they captured when they began their experimentation with flight. My only complaint would be that the paper quality takes away from the photography presentation, but it is a smaller book and I didn't necessarily expect anything fancy.All in all, for the price, its a nice coffee table book, a good gift idea for any history buffs, or just a relaxing read. I'm definitely satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to friends and family.

I loved this book, the pictures in it were really nice and I especially liked how the book was divided into parts/categories. Some of the pictures were of plane/wing blueprints and I thought those images gave me a better look at how the Wright Brothers thought or planned. This book was also put together in an order. It started from the Wright Brothers' first blueprints, and made its way to their first flight. This made it more interesting to read. Learning about their work and being able to see all the different images was very cool. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are a plane or history lover.

This books a wonderful addition to my library. Packed with information and great photographs taken by the Wright Brothers themselves, this easily digestible book is really well thought out. The photographs take you on a journey through one of the greatest stories in American history. You can tell that the author has a great respect for the subject--not just flight, but photography, American history, and the Wright Brothers themselves.

The photos are very interesting. On the other hand, the images are quite muddy. For better imaging pay more.

Excellent contemporary photographs which visually document the aeronautical genius of the Wright brothers. Excellent companion to the biography by Kelly.

Great old photo's but short on narrative.

Good companion to the McCullough book. Great photos.

Extremely poor quality photo reprints on low quality paper. Simple text written in a childlike manner without detail. Horrible rip off.

Bought this for a freind who is into aviation, he was thrilled with it.

This is a really poor quality printed on demand type paperback. Can't recommend buying it.
