“Up in the Air, The Story of the Wright Brothers,” written and illustrated by Brian Floca, has been a great historical story presented by the Sun Journal during the past 18 weeks as a “Breakfast Serial.”

Each chapter has told of the actual events which eventually led to the invention of the first practical, reliable airplane. The story has offered a fascinating look at two brilliant bicycle shop owners who pursued the secrets of flight and thereby changed the world.

The Wright brothers’ story, at a place called Kitty Hawk, has been a remarkable series and readers should look forward to another Monday morning “Breakfast Serial” story.
