With limited education and resources, their relentless curiosity and mechanical genius lead them to a groundbreaking moment in history. As they face the dangers of their daring experiments, the world remains skeptical. Will their vision of flight take off, or will it crash under the weight of disbelief? Discover the untold story of their journey, the challenges they overcame, and the pivotal role of their sister, Katharine, in this riveting tale of innovation and courage.
