5.0 out of 5 stars Dawn Over Kitty Hawk: The Novel of the Wright Borthers, 24 Oct 2003
By E. R. Johnson "Ozarkflier" (Mountain Home, AR USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was captivated by Dawn over Kitty Hawk from start to finish. By using an artful combination of historical fact and novelized dialogue, Boyne illuminates the events surrounding man's invention of powered flight with an astonishing clarity. The remarkable genius of Wilbur and Orville Wright, the complex intellectual bond between them, plus the dominating influence of their father, Bishop Wright, is fully revealed and explained at last. With a cast of genuine characters--Augustus Herring, who claimed to have flown first, Samuel Langley, who failed despite government support, Alexander Graham Bell, who wanted to bring his inventive talents to the forefront of aviation, Glenn Curtiss, who wanted to turn aviation into a business, and Octave Chanute, who wanted to bring all of the disparate elements together--Boyne very successfully recreates one of the most compelling dramas of the last century. Anyone with the slightest interest in 20th centuty history ought to read this book.
