Something Glorious: 1894-1905, born for flight

Book excerpt: John Harrison and his wife never imagined that their ideals would involve them in the fierce competition to be the first humans to fly. Nor would they have predicted that this journey, and their son, Davey, would ultimately challenge their very sense of reality. "At one level, this story portrays the fascinating historic competition for first flight. At a deeper level, it is a story of the struggle of two parents to cope with their own ambitions and especially their child's extraordinary psychic sensitivity".--Dr. Theresa Abrams, Ph.D.
