Description
Excerpt from Wings of Tomorrow: The Story of the Autogiro
It is a very ancient quest that reached its goal in the early years of the Twentieth Century. Vic tory was so long delayed, indeed, that there were far more sceptics than believers when the tale of old Daedalus came true within the days of this generation. The general public of thirty years ago had less faith in the future of human ?ight than more primitive peoples, Who cherished a dream without being much troubled by its difficulties of achievement.
