BR1-02: The story of Flying

I love the sky when I was a child, so I like to ride airplanes. This book, ‘The story of flying’, is a story about how to begin to fly by plane.

In 1487, an Italian inventor named Leonardo da Vinci drew plans for a flying machine. He was sure it would fly, but he couldn’t build one that worked. He was the first person who wanted to fly. On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville invented the first plane. They were brothers who lived in America. They failed a lot of times. But all the time, they were learning about flying. I think they were really glad and happy when they could fly. But taking off wasn’t as easy as it sounds. Lots of people were building planes and there were all kinds of competitions to see who could fly the highest, longest or fastest. Planes were only the start of flying story. Like the first plane, the first hot-air balloon was invented by brothers. The Montgolfiers, who were French, noticed that hot air rises. Soon, they had built a balloon large enough to carry people. I haven’t ride balloon, so I would like to ride it! Helicopter is one of invention of flying history. Space shuttle is too.

I like airplanes so this book was really interesting for me. I respect to inventor of planes. If planes were not, we couldn’t take a trip to all over the world.
