The Wright Brothers

The Nationwide Christian Trust

Rating:

Run down of the history of manned flight attempts in France and Germany.  In America the Wright Brothers showed the way flight should occur. Good detail of the race between France and America to get the first manned powered flight up in the air. Characters in the animation show the pressure of public opinion.  Good use of historic footage at the end.

No specific Christian emphasis, but very useable with Y4-5 in particular in History lessons.
