PERSPECTIVES: The Wright Brothers

On a winter day in 1903, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, two unknown brothers from Ohio changed history. But it would take the world some time to believe what had happened: the age of flight had begun, with the first heavier-than-air, powered machine carrying a pilot.  Host Louie Saenz interviews author David McCullough about his book THE WRIGHT BROTHERS, which takes us behind the scenes of how these two brothers changed the world.
