When the Wright Brothers made their historic first flight in 1903, they couldn’t have possibly imagined how far the aircraft would progress in the following one hundred years alone. The Wright Flyer as it was known could be cruelly described as little more than a powered kite but it would initiate a technical evolution that would shrink the world allowing global travel in hours as opposed to months by sea. It would also, of course, bring unimaginable destruction from the sky as the aircraft was tooled for warfare. This evolution from something of a curiosity to practical air power could only be achieved through experimentation but for every experiment that would succeed there were those that failed. The big dreams of military planners worldwide, that just fell short. These are their stories. Welcome to Wars of the World.
