Blurb: “The Wright brothers' first interest in flight began when they were children and their father brought them a present — a toy helicopter. Wilbur and Orville were pleased with the toy and flew it again and again, to the delight of their little sister, Katharine.
But the Wright boys were not content with flying the helicopter. Soon they were asking,
"What makes it fly?" Soon they were making-another helicopter, which flew as well as the original. And small Katharine tagged after her clever brothers, happy to share in their game.
Katharine was always happy to be her brothers' partner. She didn't always understand their ideas, especially when they began working on a flying machine. But her loyalty was un-limited, and she believed firmly that one day her brothers would fly.
And on December 17, 1903, it was Katharine and their father that Wilbur and Orville sent a telegram saying: "Success Four Flights Thursday Morning .”
