It was good because it was about flying. I found out that there were competitions to build aeroplanes and who can fly the furthest. The most memorable fact is that they used car engines in aeroplanes.

I learnt about all flying things. The one i liked most is the flying plane invented by Anthony Fokker which had three wings and it was incredibly fast. I learnt about Wright Brothers who invented the first plane. I learnt about hot air balloons and rockets.
