For most people, flying is simply the fastest, easiest, and sometimes the cheapest way to travel. But just over a hundred years ago, anybody who talked about humans flying in machines was thought to be crazy.

They new it wouldn't be easy but they also believed in themselves, and refused to let their upsets get them down. With this kit students learn about the amazing Wright Brothers and their quest for flight. (14 KIDS DISCOVER magazines /guide/ celebrating a century of flight magazine/ 2 Cobblestone Publications).
