BIG BLOG ANNOUNCEMENT (drum roll please): I’m starting a new series of posts to be called Weird Wing Wednesdays!
Each week, I’ll post a new short snapshot of an aviation experiment that predates the Wright brothers’ first flight in 1903. These fantastic flying machines didn’t work, but they sure did look cool. Tune in on Wed for the first one, but while you’re waiting, take a gander at this beautiful chart, published in 1880’s showing 53 different flying machines featuring various levels of whimsy and scientific rigor.
