Orville would discover in later years that he and Wilbur39。s first interests in flight began when they were children, with powered rubberbandhelicopter toys that their father would bring home for them from trips around the country. Orville and Wilbur would build duplicates(復(fù)制品)of these toys and bounce them off the ceiling. They were just crazy about these things for the reasons that they did not yet understand.

The bicycle shop would provide the livelihood(生計(jì))that would allow them to carry out their experiments on airplanes.
