If you’re anything like us, the miracle of flight is something that has always dazzled us.  We still see the awe in watching planes take off and land, and being on a plane continues to thrill no matter how mainstream and normal commercial flights have become.  There’s something so fascinating about it that it’s hard to describe.  What’s truly unbelievable is how far we’ve come in such a short amount of time.  We’ve only had a little over a century’s worth of flying experience and look how capable, safe, and almost physics-defying our common plane has truly become.  And to think it all started with two brothers who shared the same fascination with flight as us.  And that fascination, which led to obsession, is the focus of today’s episode.  

So pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your tray tables in their upright and locked position, and prepare for takeoff as your captains, Phil and Phil, bring you into the unknowns of the Wright brothers on this episode of the Missing Chapter.
