Dream to Fly

About Dream to Fly

Recommend for ages 8+, grades 4-12
Running Time: 35 minutes

Discover the mystery of flight with Leonardo da Vinci, the Montgolfier brothers, the Wright brothers and other inventors in this poetic story about the history of aviation. It presents the milestones on our route to conquering the skies—both in terms of technological breakthroughs, as well as our perceptions on flying itself.
