I saw both episodes last night, the first about Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, the second about the Wright Brothers and Glenn Curtiss. I had not been aware of the intense rivalry and patent dispute between Curtiss and the Wrights. There is more about it at the link to Curtiss. Very interesting that the U.S. government, with FDR while Assistant Secretary of the Navy having a leading role, and the advent of WW I resolved it.

 

Click on Episode Guide at the title's link and you can see when they air and their subjects.
