Grampy would LOVE this week's Five in a Row book!
It is The Glorious Flight, by Alice and Martin Provensen. It is the true story of frenchman Louis Ble'riot, "one of the truly great pioneers of aviation. He devoted the fortune acquired by his invention of an automobile searchlight to the development and construction of his high-performance aircraft, the BLE'RIOT XI. His flight across the English Channel from France (on July 25, 1909) demonstrated to the world that barriers of land and sea no longer existed for the airplane."
The flight was the first of its kind, and eighteen years before Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
See why my Daddy would love it? :)
I am learning so much along with Emily--- my days are busier than ever... but, even more rewarding, too! :)
