Overview

Chronologically and interwoven story, with hundreds of archival photos and exhibits, tells "what actually happened" with the Wrights, Glenn Curtiss--including Alexander Graham Bell's hitherto unknown pivotal role...with Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Octave Chanute and others on the sidelines. Result of 20+ years of research and focuses upon (1), a semi-secret Agreement made between the Smithsonian and Orville Wright's heirs, and (2), a volcanic, historically important letter written by Gilbert M. Grosvenor, National Geographic's chairman (and Bell's great-grandson), to the author which "changes everything." Nowhere else will you find these facts--hidden for a century.
