問題詳情:
Nothing in Wiley Post’s early years suggested that he would become a famous pilot, His family were farmers. In 1913, Wiley saw something that forever changed his life —an airplane. After watching the plane. He measured different parts of the place with his hands. Many years later. Wiley post would say that first airplane was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen.
Wiley Post began to study everything he could find about flying. He began to educate himself about subjects such as mathematics. Radio and machinery. His self-education would continue the rest of his life. Post finally rode in an airplane in 1919. At the time, many people believed all pilots were special people. They believed it took special skills and courage to fly an airplane. But after his first ride. Wiley Post knew that flyi8ng was something he could learn to do.
