I found the part about the early balloonists who flew before the Wright Brothers to be very interesting, as there doesn't seem to be much written about them. It also covers early aviators like Bleriot and Santos Dumont.

After the Napster fiasco anything with original Wright facts rather than Curtiss finesse helps to avoid the dark shadow of copying.
