“I thrust my airplane upward. It nose-dived to the ground. This was my eighteenth effort. I got the plane and frowned. I bent the wingtips under and flew the plane once more. It went a little farther, then landed on the floor. Encouraged by this progress, I tried out different things – I made a few quite pointed and gave some folded wings. The pointed planes flew farther. They also travelled straight. The others looped and wobbled. Their progress wasn’t great.”
