The Wright Brothers: How They Invented the Airplane

by Russell Freedman, and published by Holiday House

The book cover of "The Wright Brothers: How They Invented the Airplane" by Russell Freedman features a photo of a Wright Brothers plane with one of the brothers in the plane, lying prone, prepared to fly, while the other brother, facing away from us, looks toward the plane. The John Newbery Medal Honor Seal has been affixed below the title near the upper right corner.
