520			_aThe book tells the remarkable true story of a simple piece of muslin cloth that was originally intended to become underwear. Instead, the cloth was purchased by the Wright brothers in 1903 and used on the wings of their historic airplane. Decades later, a small swatch of the same fabric traveled to the Moon with Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 mission. In 2021, another tiny piece accompanied the Ingenuity helicopter to Mars, becoming part of the first powered flight on another planet. Through engaging storytelling, illustrations, and historical photographs, the book connects three major milestones in the history of flight and demonstrates how innovation builds on past achievements.
