If you are in trouble anywhere in the world, an airplane can fly over and drop flowers, but a helicopter can land and save your life.

This machine was a failure to the extent that it could not fly. In other respects it was a very important and necessary stepping stone.

If a man is in need of rescue, an airplane can come in and throw flowers on him, and that's just about all. But a direct lift aircraft could come in and save his life.

Aeronautics was neither an industry nor a science. It was a miracle.

Supersonic airplanes have carried men at more than 2,000 miles per hour and there are reasons to believe that this speed will be doubled by 1960 or so.

Money lost-nothing lost, Health lost-little lost, Spirit lost-everything lost.

The work of the individual still remains the spark that moves mankind forward.
