When Milton Wright, a young clergyman brought home a toy helicopter, he couldn't be more accurate about the choice of a present for his little boys, Wilbur and Orville, the world knows as the Wright brothers. The toy was a harbinger of a historical invention. This is the story of two brothers who relentlessly worked to achieve their mission to fly. It is an incredible journey of troughs and crests, of unimaginable grit and tenacity, inexpressible agony and dejection to finally taste an ounce of success. The Wright brothers first flight in Kitty Hawk is the first time man could fly and that story of success is known to all and sundry. But their life was never devoid of failures or pain.
