“There was a wonderful little short four-year time period when marvelous things happened. It started in 1908, when the Wright brothers flew in Paris, and everybody said, 'Ooh, hey, I can do that.' There's only a few people that have flown in early 1908. In four years, 39 countries had hundreds of airplanes, thousands of pilots.” PeopleYearsLittlesSaidI CanCountryCan DoFourWonderfulHappenedBrotherPeriodsThings HappenHeyParisFour YearsPilotsAirplaneMarvelousFlewTime PeriodsMarvelous ThingsWright Brothers Author:Burt Rutan
