Kite Goes 'Way Up: Phillip Kunz of 1666-5 Cram Circle and his son Jay, 5, show the apparatus they used to send a kite five miles into the sky—considered a world's record. Fishing line was wound on the homemade reel and then attached to the 29-cent drugstore kite with Kunz's handkerchief as a kit tail.
