I read a book that calls "The story of flying". It tells about the history of planes. People wanted to fly thousands of years ago. The first plane was drewed in 1487 in Italy. Leonard da Vinci wrote it but never had been built. Until the Wright brothers invent the plane, many many people tried to fly. Some people made a wing like a bird and tried to flap. As the technology progress some inventor had a steam engine on it but never flyed. Finally on December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers flew. They challenged and crashed many times. I believe they should be very happy when they could flyed. Soon many people started building planes. In 1909, the first air show has been held in France. 38 planes took part of the show but only 23 of them could take off. In those day they had competition to see who can fly the highest, longest and fastest. The first prize for the non-stop flying was 180km. He flewed for 3 hours. The fastest plane flew 45km per hour. In those days it was very incredible.
In this book, it is also wrote about helicopters. The first helicopter only waas in the air for 20 second and didnIt even rised as high as a man. In 1940 the first helicopter called "R4" and used by U.S. navy in world war 2. Now, helicopters are used in armies, police and used to trasport sick person to the hospital. The biggest helicopter is called "Skycrane". It's half helicopter and the other half is a crane. It's strong enough to lift trains or truck and strong enough to lift a house.
Today, people had been gone to space and walk at the moon. And there're people living in the space. The technology has been improved in a century. It is still expensive to go to space. But some day, we may go to space as a luxury trip.
I recommend this book because it tells about plane's history in easy english. If you like planes, you may like it. It is a little long book but it's not so hard to read. As reading this story the most suprising part is the part of the skycrane. I don't think the skycrane is in somewhere in Kumamoto or in Japan but if I have a chance, I want to see it. But possible, I want to see it carrying house.
