Description
And so continues my quest to be able to draw children!

I gave Amelia more "cheekadge" in her face, as well as made her body a little shorter. As for the twins... I tried to give them some missing teeth but it looked like they just got them punched out of their mouth in some brutal alleyway brawl.

As for the other three, these are new characters I've yet to find a way will fit into the story.

(The titles below aren't their actual names, by the way. Just whom they are based off of).

Well I'm assuming most of you know who a lot of these figures are, but I'm sure Lilenthal and Schmid are a bit more obscure.

Earhart: (b. 1897) Amelia Earhart was renown for breaking many aviation records; all of which had been previously set by men. She was the first professional aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and wrote many best-sellers regarding her adventures and expressing her love for flight. She went missing in a noble attempt to circumnavigate the globe.
Limburgh: (b. 1902) Charles Limburgh became famous instantaneously when he crossed from New York to France in one non-stop flight; about 3,600 miles. Upon landing in Paris, he was greeted by some 150,000 people, where in their excitement hauled him around for almost thirty minutes. He used his fame to advocate aviation production.
Schmid: (b. early 1900s) Adalbert Schmid developed a successfully operational ornithopter, that was to be operated my manpower. Realizing that man does not have the muscle power necessary to flap wings, he later installed an engine. The flight lasted almost 15 minutes, and was completely controlled. Unfortunitely, due to the poor timing of his invention (during WWII), it went unrecognized by the public.
Lilienthal: (b. 1848) Otto Lilienthal was a German flight enthusiast who obtained the nickname “Glider King”. He would be the first person to make well documented glides. He even developed a successful man powered ornithopter. His discoveries had thus informed the public about the possibility of flying machines. Lilienthal died when he lost control of one of his gliders.
Orville and Wilbur Wright: (b. 1871, 1867) The Wright brothers were not only the first to invent the first successful airplane (though some have arguments against that), but made the first controlled and sustained heavier-than-air flight. Their invention of the three-axis control (maintaining equilibrium and steering the aircraft) would revolutionize our abilities with flying machines as we know it. They are on the Ohio quarter.
