Description
Excerpt from Flying the Atlantic in Sixteen Hours: With a Discussion of Aircraft in Commerce and Transportation I believe that ever since Man, but recently conscious of his own existence, saw the birds, he has desired to emulate them. Among the myths and fables of every race are tales of human flight. The paradise of most religions is reached through the air, and through the air gods and prophets have passed from earth to their respective heavens. And all authentic angels are endowed with wings. The present generation is lucky in that, de spite this instinctive longing since the begin ning of human history for the means of flight, it is the first to see dreams and theories trans lated into fact by the startling development of practical aviation, within the past fifteen years.
