Learning To Fly

Synopsis

When Orville and Wilbur Wright build and fly the world’s first airplane, they face skepticism from the public and industry. For years, the Wrights work tirelessly to prove their claim as the rightful inventors of the airplane. During this period, aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss enters the scene, manufacturing and selling his own planes, which leads to significant financial success. This competition ignites a massive patent war that threatens to undermine the entire aviation industry before it can truly take flight. The struggle between the Wrights and Curtiss highlights the challenges of innovation and the fight for recognition in the early days of aviation.
