I had never heard of ‘Huffman Prairie‘. Like most I believed that the ‘Wright brothers‘ had done all of their groundbreaking flying at ‘Kitty Hawk‘.
Despite my lifelong love of airplanes and aviation, I knew next to nothing about the Wright brothers. So, last week I decided to rectify that my listening, on ‘Audible‘, to ‘The Wright Brothers‘ by ‘David McCullough‘.
That is how I came to learn about this field, which does, indeed, deserve more publicity and fame (thought it appears that the cognoscenti have done all that is appropriate to memorialize it). But, I wanted to make sure YOU heard about it. Now you have. Check it out. Rather neat.
