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

It would be right to state that, with the successful flight of the XR-4 in the summer of 1942, the helicopter became a reality in the United States.

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.

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.

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.

It is like a dream to feel the machine lift you gently up in the air, float smoothly over one spot.
