Description

Are you ready for some history that flies high? Join Mira and Finn as we talk about the incredible Wright Brothers! Before they were famous pilots, Orville and Wilbur Wright were just two guys who fixed bicycles in their shop. That sounds boring, right? WRONG! They had a secret dream: to build a machine that could soar through the air! How did two bike mechanics from Ohio figure out how to defy gravity when no one else could?

We're taking you straight to the sandy, windy beaches of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, for the ultimate test. Find out exactly what happened on that windy day in December when their incredible flying machine, the *Flyer*, only stayed airborne for 12 seconds and went 120 feet! That short trip changed the *entire* world. Get ready for high-flying drama and incredible facts that prove that even regular people with great ideas can achieve the impossible!
