"The book is a fictional account of a supernatural incident that lands Wilbur and Orville Wright in present day Kitty Hawk. Presumed to be reenactors who often entertain the tourists, the brothers are confronted with a world that has evolved technologically; in great part due to their aeronautical designs and calculations. While witnessing the applications of their fl ying machine¿s successors, they observe the utilization of their invention in the fi elds of defense, business, and leisure. Frustrated with the inability to convince people who they really are, the brothers struggle with the possibility that they could be hallucinating or experiencing some type of subconscious dream brought on by the shock of being buried in a sandstorm. Making the best of a troublesome situation, they use what time they have to observe and record the dimensions and components of their ¿yet to be built¿ Flyer; a reproduction of which is on display at the National Park Service¿s Visitor¿s Center. With no warning, they are mysteriously returned to their own time to live out their destiny as history has recorded."
"Greg Dempsey resides with his wife, Michele, in Modesto, CA. Born in Redwood City, CA. he holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of San Francisco. His interest in the history of fl ight was encouraged by his mother who used to tell him stories about her years as a stewardess with T.W.A. After becoming semi-retired he struck up an acquaintance with Tom Hillier, owner of the Hillier Air Museum at the Modesto Airport. Th e airport is home to the Central Valley Squadron of the Commemorative Air Force, an organization which holds monthly fund raisers to keep historical planes fl ying. For Greg and Michele, the gatherings at the hangars and a visit with Tom Hillier are a unique opportunity to experience the history of fl ight fi rst hand; passed down in stories and exhibits by the men and women who made it possible."
