Up in the Air:
The Story of the Wright Brothers
Chapter Eighteen: Doubts and Triumph (1905-1909)
Wilbur and Orville lock away their flying machine in early 1905. They won´t show it again until they have it patented and have sold the rights to it. But time is passing and other inventors, hurrying to build their own flying machines, begin to wonder, “Where is the Wright machine? What have the Wrights really done?”
