Flying
Read by Marilyn Powell
Join Marilyn Powell as she explores the fascinating journey of flight in this two-part series, "Flying." It began life as a kite and transformed into an engine-powered, piloted machine. On a cold December day in 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, it took off, flew for twelve seconds, and landed. A little more than a hundred years after the Wright Brothers' first flight, Powell delves into the passion, poetry, and obsession surrounding the concept of flying.
This series aired on CBC Radio One, with Part One on June 22, 2004, and the conclusion on June 23, 2004. Tune in to discover the rich history and emotional connection to flight.
