Strapping wings to your arms and flapping them wildly isn’t the most effective way to fly. A long list of daredevils and inventors tried everything they could think of as they tried stay in the air. Thankfully, we have first class cabins now, but how people learned to fly is an important story. In this new Level 2 LRFO, young readers can learn the basic principles behind flight and see some of the strange contraptions that people used in attempts to fly before the Wright brothers finally succeeded in 1903.

Includes flying facts and a fun paper airplane experiment.
