Signed by the author on the title page. Noah Adams is an American broadcast journalist and author, known primarily for his experience on National Public Radio. As a bestselling author, Adams' books tend to document a full year in his life, specifically as that year relates to a particular passion or research project. Adams has also dabbled in major documentary projects, such as Father Cares: The Last of Jonestown in 1981. The program, which he wrote and narrated, earned him the Prix Italia, the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award, and the Major Armstrong Award. Derived from a Kirkus review: NPR's Adams celebrates the brothers from Dayton, Ohio, and events that changed the world, beginning with the first flight at Kitty Hawk 100 years ago. The author is a firm believer in the technique of absorbing the dry facts of research material and then revisiting key venues at which historical events took place in order to receive whatever evocations remain firsthand. Actual correspondence among the brothers, their father, and their devoted sister Katharine is "played" to indicate what may have been running through Orville or Wilbur's mind. Adams aims for immediacy and awe. The Wrights' obsession to protect and extend their patents is noted, but not the extent of their legalistic jousting with rivals like Glenn Curtiss. A clear portrait emerges of the tenacity and homespun intelligence shared by brothers who pushed modest ambitions well beyond what either had dared dream.
