It examines "the challenge of flight, from the Wright brothers' first flight to the transatlantic flight of Alcock and Brown." Both famous flights are discussed in detail, with scanned images of original telegrams, notes, and plans. Hands-on activities are here, complete with explanations of the principles involved, to investigate the wonders of flying. Aimed at students aged 10-14, with a section especially for science teachers, this site, nevertheless, has something for everyone.
