Birdmen: The Wright Brothers, Glenn Curtiss, and the Battle to Control the Skies by Lawrence Goldstone is the story of intense decade long feud over US patents to the technological advances that made sustained human flight possible. This book presents a very detailed, researched account of this decade-long fight. The details make the history complete but also make the book slow reading.
