The story of the Wright Brothers is truly inspirational. They were hardworking, determined, and relentless in solving human flight. They were mostly self taught. Reviewing theories and science with themselves. Such from books in their library at home. Once they obtained flight they were more anxious to even fly further and faster. I was inspired how they authentically rested from work on Sunday. It was something how there testing and results were constantly reviewed, photographed and recorded. Europe especially captured the flight craze- in circus like fashion to see Wilbur fly. I feel we can learn from them. And they did it mostly with means from there small bicycle shop.
It was if modern flight could not have been pursued any faster by just one, it had to be two. One to be attached to the plane, and the other to follow and catch and push at the start and stops; and two to review patterns, concepts and model. Even they were caught often imitating bird species in flight. They involved people in the fun, science, thrill, and danger of flight. They inspired victory over people's imagination to fly for years, a reality. Real life Chitty Chitty Bang Bangs they were.
By flight, they expanded the globe by transporting all of us faster to each other and to far places now reached.
