Have you ever wondered where those cool flying robots came from?
Join Mira and Finn as they uncover the wild and wacky history of
drones! You won't believe it, but the very first drone was built
over a hundred years ago during World War One. It was made of
papier-mâché, weighed as much as a full-grown grizzly bear, and
almost always crashed! Discover how the military used pilotless
planes for target practice in World War Two, and learn the totally
amazing secret about a famous Hollywood movie star who was
discovered working in a drone factory! We'll trace the journey from
massive, 27-foot-long spy planes to the tiny, super-fast
quadcopters you can easily fly in your backyard using just a
smartphone. Plus, find out all the incredible things drones can do
today! From inspecting dark, spider-web-filled bridges to flying
piping hot pizzas right to your front door! We'll even explore how
thousands of glowing drones fly perfectly together to create
500-foot-tall dragons in the night sky! Grab your virtual reality
goggles and get ready for a high-flying history adventure that will
blow you away!
