The Wright Brothers Mechanician by Charles E. Taylor presents the story of Charles E. Taylor, the machinist and mechanic who played an important role in the development of the Wright brothers\' early aircraft. Taylor is particularly notable for constructing the engine used in the Wright brothers\' historic Flyer after helping translate their requirements for a lightweight aircraft engine into a working design.
This signed, limited first edition was published in 1997 and offers a focused look at the mechanical and technical work behind the Wright brothers\' pioneering flights. It is a particularly interesting title for collectors of aviation history, Wright brothers material, early aircraft engineering, and books relating to the individuals who contributed to the development of powered flight.
