    For 1893 years it was the biggest dream in human history to be able to fly like birds.
    These brave men often gave their life to make this dream become reality. Finally, in 1893, Otto Lilienthal achieved the unthinkable and flew with his glider over a distance of several meters. It was the birth of aviation. Just 2 years later he died when he lost control of his glider and crashed. 76 years later, in 1969, the 2 most famous aircraft of all time had their successful maiden flights: The Concorde and the Boeing 747.

      It must be taken into account that 99 percent of them were do-it-yourselfers. Even today, these do-it-yourselfers would fasten their "components" with leather straps to a bow, freely insert propellers and wheels, produce structures that cannot support themselves, produce short fragile wings, etc. Glider manufacturers, who have existed for a long time, knew very well where these amateurs they are making a mistake. Therefore, the experiments of these amateurs became attractive for another invention - a camera, which already at that time provided entertainment to cheer the audience.

    I have to say that hindsight is 20/20 meaning that we can laugh now about some attempts. Sometimes old-fashioned trial and error over and over and learning from the failures allows the exciting new innovations reached on the next dawn.
