To commemorate Wilbur’s death in 1912, 'That Wright Family!' examines the life of the Wright Brothers and their family from Wilbur’s birth in 1867 to Orville’s death in 1948, (from making kites to watching jets fly overhead). While most Wright books concentrate in the Kitty Hawk flight and technology, fictional neighbors share their observations and attitudes on the Wright family dynamics before and after the December 1903 flight plus Orville’s determination to maintain privacy and to assure recognition of the Wright Brothers’ achievements.
