00:07 Alright kids, let's all stay together.
00:12 We've seen lots of amazing things from the history of aviation, but I've saved the best for last.
00:18 Kind of ironic, because this was a great first.
00:22 There was a time when only birds had the power of flight.
00:26 But then the Wright Brothers came along and invented the very first airplane.
00:32 This is the Wright Flyer of 1903, the plane that gave us the first moused flight.
00:39 Um, don't you mean manned flight?
00:43 No, son, the first moused flight.
00:46 Would you like to hear the story of that courageous mouse?
00:49 Oh, yes!
00:50 Tell us, too!
00:52 Well, it all started in the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio.
00:57 [music]
01:09 Wilbur, do you see what this bold little mouse is doing?
01:13 [whistling]
01:14 How rude!
01:15 No need to be alarmed, Orville.
01:17 I'll call your worthless cat, Thomas!
01:20 Please attend to that meddlesome mouse!
01:22 [music]
01:27 [snoring]
01:29 [music]
01:38 Get that mouse, Thomas!
01:40 [music]
01:50 Did you see that, Orville?
01:51 I did, Wilbur, I did!
01:53 I think that mouse knows something about aerodynamics.
01:56 [music]
02:00 And he's terrifically good at outsmarting Thomas.
02:03 The combination of those skills will help with our experiments.
02:06 Let's begin right away.
02:08 [music]
02:12 I hope the mouse finds our box kite useful.
02:15 Look, here he comes!
02:16 And your cat is close behind.
02:19 [music]
02:20 [growling]
02:21 [music]
02:25 Look, Wilbur, the kite's working!
02:28 Let's just hope your cat doesn't create too much drag.
02:32 [music]
02:42 The mouse caught a thermal updraft!
