Secret Smithsonian adventures

"Schoolmates Dominique, Eric, Josephine, and Ajay are excited about a field trip to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. When they get there, however, they find a museum where aviation development seems to have taken a different turn in 1909. It is filled with balloons, blimps, and dirigibles. They travel through time to try and restore the Wright brothers to their place in history and along the way, learn about aerodynamics and other aviation principles"--OCLC.

At the National Museum of American History, Eric, Dominique, Aday, and Josephine enlist the help of Gilbert Stuart, John Trumbull, and Thomas Jefferson to thwart a plan to turn the United States into a monarchy.

When Dominique, Eric, Josephine, and Ajay return to the Smithsonian they see that modern animals are extinct and dinosaurs have been brought back to life, so they time travel to the 1876 Philadelphia Exhibition to stop this wicked plot.

After discovering that the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum is much smaller, has no Spirit of St. Louis airplane or Apollo 11 command module, and is filled with balloons, blimps, and dirigibles, four schoolmates travel through time to try and restore the Wright brothers to their well-earned place in history and learn about aerodynamics and other aviation principles along the way.
