From the dawn of time, man has wished he could fly. He envied the bird for wings and then constructed his own out of wax. This did not work and many were killed in the attempt. Soon, the New World was found, and the dream of flying was forgotten. When Americans saw the bird, their old desire to soar with them in the heavens was reborn. They tried and tried again, this time not with wax. They succeeded and flew above the birds. America keeps with traditions still today with staying at the top of technology and development in the aeronautical field.
