It was a cold spring morning in the year 1910 when the professor and his student, Watkins, pushed the craft out onto the field.

"We really haven't run enough tests professor."
"Come come man, where's your sense of adventure?"

With the plane lined up, the professor climbed aboard. He started to pedal and Watkins pushed the craft along. Faster and faster, harder and harder until, yes, it left the ground.
Watkins' brother snapped the photograph at that moment.

The professor was starting to pant very hard and his strength started to fade. The plane glided to the ground and came to a stop.

"There!" panted the professor, "I told you it would fly."
Watkins just stared.
"Next stop the channel! Whatdoyousayman?!"
Watkins continued to just stare.
