    People realized that potential aircraft held as a source of transportation, not only of people, but, for freight. Early on, this new found transportation was expressed in exploration. There were adventurers like Charles Lindbergh, with “The Spirit of Saint Louis”, making the first transatlantic flight and Amelia Earhart, the first woman to make a transatlantic flight. Later, airplanes were used in expeditions and, after a while, multi-engine planes were being chartered and used for expedient travel. These charters started out with private planes and their owners, putting their services up for hire. Before long, there was an industry of commercial planes providing transportation to the public for a price. Around the same time, airplanes became the new wave of transport for freight. Not only was this used for private industries, but also, was employed by the government for United States mail system. The major advantage of travel by air was expediency. Not long after, men felt a superiority in the skies and a kind of cockiness that domineered their aircraft. The risk envelope was pushed and the thrills escalated.

    Humanity’s desire to fly probably dates to the first time prehistoric man observed birds. The discovery of the kite that could fly in the air by the Chinese made human think about flying. For many centuries, humans tried to fly just like birds and have studied the flight of birds. Wings made of feathers or light weight wood was attached to arms to test their ability to fly. The results were often disastrous as the muscles of the human arms are not like a bird and cannot move with the strength of a bird. The invention of the airplane wasn’t an easy task; it took many years to accomplish, a lot of research and experiment before they succeeded it what is now a major part in our transportation means.…
