October 9, 2015 – It’s History in Five Friday, presented by Simon & Schuster — kicking off your modern weekend, with people from the past. Today, we offer up legendary history author David McCullough on his latest #1 New York Times best-seller: The Wright Brothers. It's a tale that Mr. McCullough calls quintessentially American in its power to inspire, and to set an example for us in 2015. Orville and Wilbur Wright -- along with their impressive sister Katharine -- showed the world that man could fly, changing that world forever. And they did it all for just a thousand bucks.
