Aviation

Description

For most of human history, the sky was something people only dreamed about. Then along came two quiet bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio—Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright—and suddenly the impossible became real. But behind their experiments, calculations, and questionable ability to keep track of their own tools was their sister, Katherine Wright—the practical, quick-witted force who made sure the brothers actually ate lunch and occasionally remembered where they put their glasses. This program celebrates both the humor and the wonder of flight: first, a glimpse inside the wonderfully eccentric Wright household… and then a very different moment—the quiet thrill of someone experiencing their first solo flight. These two short stories by Troy Lee remind us that before humanity could soar through the skies, someone first had to believe it was possible… and someone else had to remember where the wrench was.
