2003réf. 88191New York: Crown Publishers a Division of Random House 2003. First Edition Stated First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Neenah Ellis Author photograph. The format is approximately 5.75 inches by 8.5 inches. xiv 4 221 1 pages. Illustrations. Author's Note. Bibliography. Index. Signed by the author sticker on the front of the dust jacket. Inscribed by the author on the title page; inscription reads: "For Dick-- Noah Adams". Noah Adams is an American broadcast journalist and author known primarily since 1987 from National Public Radio. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Adams cohost of NPR's All Things Considered sets out to learn about the Wright Brothers their family and why they loved to fly so much. Adams visits all the spots important to the brothers from the Outer Banks of North Carolina where they flew gliders to France; Dayton Ohio; and New York. The most appealing part of the book is the look at the close relationship between Orville Wilbur and their sister Katherine. The three were devoted to one another and planned on living together. In fact when Katherine announced her plans to marry Orville was devastated and ended up not seeing his sister until she was on her deathbed years later. Adams uses letters and diaries to describe the lives of the Wrights; some of these details are not widely included in other books that focus on their inventions and accomplishments. Adams re-creates the travels of the Wrights. In the end he's a personable guide into the Wright Brothers' world offering a refreshing look at these aviation pioneers. "It takes only nineteen seconds to walk the distance of the first powered flight. But when I was there the wind was up and cold on my face and I felt as if I'd entered the black-and-white photograph I'd been seeing all my life. The sand is light gray there's a spill of surf in the distance. Wilbur running at the right of the plane and Orville the pilot are in dark suits. The propellers blur against the sky as the machine rises. . . ." So begins Noah Adams's adventure in search of Wilbur and Orville Wright a journey that takes him across the country as he follows in the footsteps of the famous brothers in an attempt to know them more deeply not just as inventors and pilots but as individuals as well. Adams one of our most distinctive and talented storytellers traveled thousands of miles and interviewed scores of experts and individuals to piece together his story. He finds a local boat captain to ferry him to Kitty Hawk along the same route that Wilbur took in 1900 and spends several days talking with descendants of the families who first welcomed the Wright brothers a century ago and helped them conduct their gliding experiments. To experience first-hand the thrill of being in the air Adams himself goes hang-gliding in the Outer Banks. To understand the aerodynamics of lift and drag and how the famous 1903 plane was constructed he visits Ken Hyde a Virginia pilot and vintage aircraft builder who is creating the world's most accurate reproduction of the 1903 Wright Flyer. Adams goes to the prop shop and handles the tools and materials that the Wrights used to build their gliders and planes and later he visits the wind tunnel at Langley Air Force Base where Hyde's reproduction was tested for the first time. He also travels to France to visit the old racetrack at Le Mans where Wilbur startled the European aviation community with his demonstration flights in 1908 and he spends a few days at Wisconsin's Oshkosh Fly-in where builders of experimental aircraft and owners of vintage planes gather every year to dazzle the crowds. Adams himself takes to the air in a restored Ford Tri-Motor America's first airliner which took its maiden flight seventy years ago. In Adams's book we encounter the Wright brothers in a way that no writer has introduced them before. Through the lens of his own experiences as well as original reporting letters diaries and other primary source material he helps us understand the talent and intensity of the brothers and their family including the fascinating deeply complex and at times tragic bond between Orville and Katharine his younger sister. The Flyers is a wonderfully rich narrative that brings an unprecedented spirit of immediacy to one of history's most dramatic stories. Crown Publishers [a Division of Random House] hardcover
