Flying Lesson - Bell Studies and Flying Lesson - Wittgenstein Studies look at the thinkers and the scientists at play. The latter is a commentary on the revelatory moments of the young Ludwig Wittgenstein as aeronautical “researcher-turned-philosopher” whose experimental models have been crucial to solving the problem of flight by the Wright brothers. Equally Alexander Graham Bell also conducted experiments with building kites that were able to carry “both a man and a motor”, paving the way to manned flight. He developed these kites between 1895 and 1910.
