Men have been dreaming of flying since immemorial times. Thousands of years have passed from the time when legendary Icarus flew to the Sun on waxed wings invented by his father Daedalus to the first real flight. Another 120 years passed before the flight on an aircraft. It is well-known that on 17 December 1903 the Wright brothers performed the first registered flight on an aeroplane. Orville and Wilbur Wright were renowned aviators, inventors, and aviation pioneers. It must be said that construction-wise the first plane was a biplane, that is it had two wings one above the other. Nowadays, the most typical type of planes is a monoplane that is a plane with one pair of wings. Back in 1940s the most common type of planes was a biplane (or a triplane in some cases). Constructing airplanes was a great challenge in those times. Planes flew on short distances and were made mostly of wood and leather or cloth of dense texture.
