Since the books are children’s literature, not many critics have taken the time to review the works. However, Book Reviews reference to a review of Silverstein’s A Light in the Attic said, “Despite such moments of banality, and there ...

... successfully an airplane must operate on three axes. In 1900 they built their first glider that traveled 300 feet. In 1901, using aerodynamic tables compiled by Samuel Langley and Lilienthal, they constructed new wings for a larger glider; the flight was poor so they set out to test the tables. They made 200 model wings and tested them in a small wind tunnel. The tables were proven wrong and the Wrights painstakingly computed new ones. In 1902 their third biplane beat all other records for glider flight. For the construction of their first powered airplane, Flyer I, they had to design a lighter gasoline engine and an efficient propeller. In 1903, with a strong wind at Kitty Hawk, the W ...
