The Helicopter Flies High
By Jane Runyon |
|
1 It seems that ever since man first watched birds fly through the skies, he has wanted to fly himself. Soaring on the winds became a fascination. Some men, like the Wright brothers, worked on creating a lighter than air craft. Others had another dream in mind. They dreamed of a flying machine that would lift straight up off the ground and maneuver in any direction the pilot desired. Is this a fairly recent dream? No, not really.
