Kitty Hawk: The Wright Brothers' Journey of Invention

The wait is over! Finally there is a first-class documentary on the Wright brothers and the invention of the airplane. I've seen the documentary, and the producer/director David Garrigus did an outstanding job. Kitty Hawk: The Wright Brothers' Journey of Invention will be s. But you can own your very own copy, and be the envy of everyone in your neighborhood!

The documentary is a visual feast. Not only are innumerable photographs included, Garrigus has also incorporated contemporary reconstructions of Wright craft in flight, 3-D models of important phenomena, and narration by astronauts Neil Armstrong and John Glenn. Garrigus also relied on many expert aviation historians, including Drs. Tom Crouch and Peter Jakab of the Smithsonian, and noted biographers Fred Howard and James Tobin.
