We
owned a bicycle shop in our hometown of Dayton, Ohio.
One
day, when we were boys, our father returned from a trip with a gift
, a toy helicopter, made of cork, bamboo, and paper. It was powered
by a rubber band.
We
were successful in flying the first manned plane: a propeller driven
airplane that stayed in the air for 12 seconds.
Our
first test flights were at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
