20. The Wright Brothers by David McCullough
As is probably obvious this book is a deep dive into the history of the Wright Brothers. David McCullough is a great writer of historical narratives and he treats this subject well. I now know a lot more about the Wright Brothers than I ever did before. If you’re interested in the subject or have read any of McCullough’s other books and enjoyed them I would say this book is worth a read. I give it a 7 out of 10.
