Why Brad Meltzer Says the JFK Files Still Leave Major Questions Unanswered
- Brad Meltzer dives into the surprising story behind the Wright brothers, from their bicycle shop and childhood curiosity to the repeated crashes and experiments that eventually lead to powered flight.
- Meltzer explains why “We Are the Wright Brothers” is built around perseverance, teamwork and American ingenuity—and why he believes those lessons matter far beyond a children’s book.
- The conversation connects the Wright brothers to the Apollo program, including the remarkable detail that Neil Armstrong carries a piece of the original Wright Flyer to the moon.
- Meltzer discusses his mission to build a 100-book children’s history library, with upcoming subjects including Taylor Swift and Steven Spielberg, alongside new adult projects “The Viper” and “The Hitler Conspiracy.”
- JFK takes center stage late in the conversation as Meltzer explains why some assassination records may still remain classified and shares his theory that Kennedy conspiracy narratives often reflect whatever America fears most in a given era.
