The Wright brothers have long received the lion's share of credit for inventing the airplane. But a California scientist succeeded in flying gliders twenty years before the Wright's powered flights at Kitty Hawk in 1903. This book reveals the accomplishments of John J. Montgomery, a prolific inventor who piloted the glider he designed in 1883.
