Hildebrandt is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the development of the airplane, tracing the pioneering efforts in aeronautics from Otto Lilienthal to the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright. It particularly highlights the challenges faced by these early aviators, as well as their remarkable achievements in mastering controlled flight. At the start of the narrative, Hildebrandt discusses the context surrounding the recognition of aviation pioneers, emphasizing the struggles of the Wright brothers to gain acknowledgment for their innovative contributions. The author reflects on the family's background, particularly focusing on the Wright brothers' humble beginnings and their initial fascination with flight sparked by a simple toy. As the narrative unfolds, Hildebrandt details the brothers' early experiments with gliders, the impact of Otto Lilienthal's work on their motivation, and the groundbreaking technological advancements they made leading up to their historic flights in 1903. This opening portion sets the stage for a more in-depth examination of their technical experiments and the subsequent evolution of human flight. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
