Jim's Review
🐛
McCullough is a national treasure, and this book proves why. He takes a story most of us think we know and reveals just how extraordinary the Wright brothers really were. Two guys with no college degrees, no funding, and no fancy equipment — just grit and genius. It's the kind of story that makes you want to dig deeper into your own passions. It's a quick, propulsive read that'll leave you marveling at what stubbornness and curiosity can achieve. Even a worm can dream of flying.
