Man’s eternal dream – to fly! Maestro tells us about Icarus, with his self-made wings which melted in the sun and caused him to crash. Then there was Clément Ader, who built a steam-powered flight machine which was developed based on the principles of the wings of a bat. Furthermore he tells us about Otto Lilienthal and the glider, and the Wright brothers who developed and constructed airplanes. In 1908, the Frenchman Blériot crossed the English Channel. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh succeeded in crossing the Atlantic Ocean. The dream of flying had been fulfilled. (iTunes)
