to original work. our own llbrary,
OF more than two thousand volumes,
contained many works which treated
Of scientific and mechanical devices,
We boys were fond of reading and
eagerly dcvourcd every book Of this
class, encouraged In both reading and
experimenting by our parents.
Our early interest in tho h~clicoptcrs
toy was revived by our reading OF
the experiments OF Otto Lillenthal. a
German inventor who had made ON
successful flights In n gliding ma J
chino.
But until We heard Of tho death Of
Lilicnthal aerial navigation did MT
attract our mature and serious cou-
sideration. We then studied every
work on tho subject We could gct
and found that in tho field OF aviation
there were two schools. The frst
gave CHIEF attention TO power night
and the second TO soaring night.
Our sympathiCs were with the lat
ter school, partly from impaticnce tt
the wasteful extravaganza OF mount
ing delicate and costly machinery on
wings which no n knew how 10
manage and partly, no doubt, from
the extraordinary charIn and cnthusi-
aSm with which the APOSTLES OF soPT-
ing flight set forth the beauties Of
sailing through the air on fixed wings,
deriving the motive power from the
wind itself. We began our first glid-
ing experiments in October, 1900, at
Kitty Hawk, n. G. We had taken up

VIC soon found the work so fascinat-
ing that we were drawn into II deeper
