威尔伯·莱特与奥威尔·菜特是人类飞行史上最具有影响力的一对兄弟,他们仿佛横空出世般研制出了世界上第一架实用的飞机。他们所取得的成就,即使在今天看来都让人感到不可思议,这也难怪与他们同时代的人们,足足用了5年的时间才终于相信了他们的发明。但遗憾的是,在获得了人们的认可与赞誉后,他们却开始身陷专利诉讼的漩涡,几乎用尽了佘生来维护自己发明的专利。对莱特兄弟二人来说,赞誉和尊敬来的是那么缓慢,而批评和质疑却仿佛挥之不去。在两人为了得到承认的努力中,菜特兄弟经历了人生的走己走己落落。
Wilbur Wright and Orwell Zetter are the two most influential brothers in the history of human flight, and they seem to have developed the world’s first practical aircraft. What they have achieved, even today, seems unbelievable, and it is no wonder that people of their generation took a full five years to finally believe their invention. But regrettably, with the approval and acclaim of people, they started to fall into the whirlpool of patent litigation and almost exhausted their health to protect the patents they invented. To the Wright brothers, praise and respect come so slowly, but criticism and doubt seem to linger. In their efforts to gain recognition, the Caterers went through their own lives.
