Thank you Frederick. It was fascinating following their steps and realizing that they went from nowhere to powered flight in only 4 years! That their research methods are universally used today.

Easy and interesting read. Things we were not taught in school. And should have had more of the basics of the story than we did. The Government public school system was not great even back in 1966 when I graduated HS.

A pleasure reading it David.

And from that beginning it only took 66 years to reach the moon, with only rudimentary computer power compared to that we have now.

Yet now NASA is having a hard time getting to the moon. Seems like we lost something along the way.

I only knew the basic story. The whole story is fascinating. Now, we can fly at over 1,400 mph!
