书摘
They were two brothers from the heart of America with a vision as sweeping as the sky, and a practicality as down-to- earth as the bicycle shop they worked in. I' ve been to Kitty Hawk and seen the places where the Wright brothers imagined
the future, and then literally flew across its high frontier. Itwas an inspiration to be there and to soak up the incredible perseverance and creativity of these two men.
It was a lonely quest for the two of them in their garage behind the shop, plotting to defy gravity and conquer the wind. Wilbur Wright said, "For some years I have been af- flicted with the belief that flight is possible to man." That

There were countless bicycle shops in turn-of-the-century America, but only one where two brothers with their unher- alded persistent experimentation added wings to their wheels.

Today, the grandchild of that immigrant can return again and again across a vast ocean in just half a turn of the clock.
They were laughed at, but they never lost faith. The ge- nius of Leonardo da Vinci dream
