The People Behind the Propellers - 2nd Period
The Wright Family
The Wright family story primarily refers to Wilbur and Orville Wright, whose childhood fostered their innovation through an intellectually stimulating, mobile home life with Bishop father Milton and scientifically-minded mother Susan, leading to their invention of the airplane, built on persistence, mechanical skill from their bicycle shop, and family encouragement, despite personal sacrifices like never marrying and a short business life for Wilbur, who died young, leaving Orville to continue their legacy in aeronautics.
