Schoolmates Dominique, Eric, Josephine, and Ajay are excited about a field trip to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. When they get there, however, they find a very different museum than the one they were expecting. Not only is it much smaller, it's filled with balloons, blimps, and dirigibles, many of them with the same logo: BARRIS AIRSHIPS. Where's the Spirit of St. Louis? Where's the Apollo 11 command module? Where's the Wright Brothers' 1903 flyer? With the help of a museum "fabrications specialist," they travel through time to try and restore the Wright brothers to their well-earned place in history. Along the way they also learn about aerodynamics and other aviation principles from a wise-cracking A.I. named Smitty. But the kids' story doesn't end there--something is amiss in the next stop on their Smithsonian tour, the National Museum of Natural History--so they'll have to work together to save history again in volume two.
After discovering that the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum is much smaller, has no Spirit of St. Louis airplane or Apollo 11 command module, and is filled with balloons, blimps, and dirigibles, four schoolmates travel through time to try and restore the Wright brothers to their well-earned place in history and learn about aerodynamics and other aviation principles along the way.
Four middle schoolers, with the help of a mysterious museum "fabrications specialist," named Al, travel through time to restore the Wright Brothers place in aeronautic history.
