For Kids (And Adults)

• The Business Of Aviation - History Of Flight - 
  So How Did We Learn to Fly Like the Birds
  partstown.com/the-business-of-aviation-history-of-flight

  A big thank you to Melissa S. for finding this link. For hundreds of years, humans have watched birds and wanted to fly. Early attempts involved making wings out of wood and feathers and attaching the wings to a person's arms to try to fly. Unfortunately, the results were usually disastrous. This is because human physiology is not the same as that of birds, and humans don't have the same strength.
