註釋

The Wright Brothers take you back in time to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in 1903 when their dream to defy gravity first became a reality. The first flight lasted only 12 seconds, but it was nevertheless the first in the history of the world in which a machine carrying a man had raised itself by its own power into the air in full flight, had sailed forward without reduction of speed and had finally landed at a point as high as that from which it started. Orville and Wilbur Wright describe in detail the aerodynamic experiments, the setbacks and the lessons they learned on their path that led up to the first flight. "The Early History of the Airplane" documents a significant period of the 20th century when man's long-time, burning desire to fly was finally fulfilled. A must read for history and aviation fans. "If we worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true really is true, then there would be little hope for advance."(Orville Wright)
