UPUIQUEUFAGEDE EONARDO DA VlNCl. as early as 1519, wrote broadly on the scientific side of Aeronautics. His efforts spurred others to action and the brilliant study of such great men as Lili- enthal, Chanute, Montgomery, Ader, Maxim, and Langley, the way was paved for the superla- tive work of the Wriglit brothers who won for America the honor of making the first successful sustained flights with a plane propelled by its own power. This epoch-making flight was made at Kitty Hawk, N. C., on a chill day in mid-December, 1903, when the frail kite-like machine left the ground for a few seconds, thus proving the feasibility of aviation. These initial tests fired the desire which eventually made flight possible.

UDURUEUFAXGEUE LIGHT-the idle dream, perhaps the oldest and great- est ambition in the history of mankind has at last been real- ized and the wildest dreams have been turned to reality. The flight of the winged horse, Pegasus, the imagined flights of Daedalus and Icarus on their wings of feathers and wax, and of Darius Green with his flying machine have all been surpassed with deeds far more strange than their fiction. Today man rides at will on wing- ed steeds which are tireless in their flight, he floats lazily through the air as do the clouds and smoke, he outflies the swift- est bird, and when accident be- falls him he drifts softly to earth on his parachute wings as quietly as does the settling hawk.
