Do you think that had the Wright Brothers not pursued the idea of flying that the French would have been the first..."

I'm currently watching "Cavalcade" from 1933, and there is a scene in which the characters are sitting on the beach just when Bleriot crosses the Channel in 1909. :)

So what's the book for March?

These BOM selections have been very popular and well received, so I hope we keep them going.
I enjoy them too. This is the first one that I've done where I actually read the book concurrent with the group and I really like it that way. The others I followed I had read the book about a year before and it's more fun when you are reading along. Teri, you do a really great job with these. I have had a good time!
I love the BOM selections and all of the books the History Book club selections. Looking forward to the next books to come. i have alot of fun reading them.Thanks Teri for leading us with them and to Bentley.

Response to Samanta - Part III and Epilogue
(view spoiler)[Excellent comments. I agree that they should have claimed the rights to the patent.
I learned so much about these men. Not just about the beginning of aeronautics, but about the men themselves. It is very interesting to understand the kind of people that have made such great strides in our world. (hide spoiler)]
