Companion summary

Imagine looking up at the sky and seeing a flying machine for the very first time — what would you think? Today, every plane you spot overhead started with one brave, exciting idea a long time ago. The first aeroplane flight lasted just twelve seconds — shorter than tying your shoelaces! When you finish, try drawing what you think that very first flying machine looked like.

Look Up!

Look Up!

Have you seen a big plane in the sky? It is huge! Long ago, no one could fly. Then two brothers had a big idea.
