difficult and daring flight ever planned
for a heavicrthan-air flying machine.
Incidentally he broke all speed records
over a measured course and estab-
lished beyond dispute the practicable.
ity OF the aeroplane in time OF peace
and in time of war.
Wright's speed was more than forty
two miles an hour. he nSie the ten.

forty-two seconds. including the more
than twenty seconds required for the

speed made. II is agreed that 1t ex.
