"Canavy"? You got a typo in there intel_knight.\n\nTry CANARY, which was the name of her first aircraft, a yellow Kinner Airster biplane. When Earhart sold "Canary" she bought a yellow Kissel roadster which she named "the Yellow Peril"

Adlestrop\n   \n \n  Yes, I remember Adlestrop -- \nThe name, because one afternoon \nOf heat the express-train drew up there \nUnwontedly. It was late June. \n\nThe steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat. \nNo one left and no one came \nOn the bare platform. What I saw \nWas Adlestrop -- only the name \n\nAnd willows, willow-herb, and grass, \nAnd meadowsweet, and haycocks dry, \nNo whit less still and lonely fair \nThan the high cloudlets in the sky. \n\nAnd for that minute a blackbird sang \nClose by, and round him, mistier, \nFarther and farther, all the birds \nOf Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. \n\nEdward Thomas

in 1799, Sir George Cayley, a baronet in Yorkshire, near Scarborough, England, conceived a craft with stationary wings to provide lift and "flappers" to provide thrust. It also had a movable tail to provide control. So convinced was he that this idea is an earth-shaker, he engraved a drawing of this craft on a silver disk. Cayley wass the first to separate the different forces that keep an aircraft in the air, and his engraving was the first recorded drawing of a fixed-wing aircraft -- an airplane. So It was dear old blighty that came up with it.

The smallest bird in the world is generally agreed to be the Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) from Cuba which weighs a mere 1.6g or 0.056oz. Shortest wings and body length are not really appropriate measurements because they are disproportionately affected by whether or not the bird is flightless or not and its beak length respectively. Another major contender for smallest bird is the Little Woodstar (Acestrura bombus) from S. America. Both these tiny miracles of life fly very competently. The smallest flightless bird is the Inaccessible Island Rail (Altantisia rogersi). Reaching a mere 12.5cm/5inches in length and weighing 35g/1.45oz this little beauty can only be found in the southern Atlantic Tristan da Cunha Islands.
