Katharine: He’s dead. The man known as the Glider King, one of very few men who have ever leapt into the invisible air and soared on it, like a buzzard or an eagle, for a few seconds, before drifting back to the earth. He spent the last several years astounding people with his gliders, doing something that a lot of smart people have imagined humankind would never do – Flying. Just a little at a time. Very short distances hardly worth measuring. Nothing that would impress a bird or a butterfly. Even he described it merely assailing through the air. But if a hawk can be said to be flying when it holds its wings open and simply hovers on the breeze, then Otto Lilienthal flew, and he did it almost two thousand times.

AND

Orville: Wilbur is four years older than me – and of course he always thinks it gives him the right to boss me around – but it seems that from the time we were little children, Wilbur and me have lived together, played together, worked together, and in fact, thought together. We usually owned all of our toys in common too, like the helicopter our father gave us when I was nine. [Wilbur demonstrates the toy] It was designed by a brilliant young Frenchman named Alphone Pénaud as an early experiment with the principles of flight, and even though it really was something more than a toy, copies of it were sold for the delight and fascination of young children everywhere. Will and I played with it constantly until it broke, and then we immediately set to work building more little helicopters of our own. We were both enthusiastic about these little mechanical marvels, but I can tell you that Wilbur really thought about them, and hekeeps thinking about them, and he always has his eye on any discoveries or progress that people are making in the field of aeronautics. I know he believes that men will fly someday. And I know he’d love to be one of the pioneers who figures out how to do it.
