Airplanes have changed the game for good, and in no time, people can travel all around the world, keeping people in touch and their feats alive. This is a story of innovation and engineering at its finest-from the grassy field and the fisherman's sudden realization to what he really was 'constructing' to high-speed machines today.
The Early Years
The concept of flying machines actually existed with the ancestors at a time when myths of those early machines became more relevant, and even early inventions such as a kite were starting to shape their application.

Among them one is Otto Lilienthal and the other is the Wright brothers. Golden Age of Aviation
