uotorless planes. "glids.s" and
"sailplanes." took place at the

T>HE history Of motorless flight is
1 closely linked with the history Of
mans efforts to ny in heavier-than-
air machines. The hrst attempts
were made in motorless machines.
With the Introduction of the first
motor, the paths to progress Of both
branches were separated Fora long
time there appears to be no connec-
ton between them, and very little
work and research is devoted to
motorless machines. Only in recent
times do we see the two paths COM
ing closer together again.
Otto Lilienthal was the first to re-
veal to US the possibility of over
coming the law Of gravity and float
ing through cir. The goal OF his en-
deavor was motorless fight a. we
have it today. Through systematic
observation and painstaking expert
.ments extending through the whole
Of his life, he succeeded in discover

human flight. being undauntsd by the
many failures that strewed his career.

essay submitted by any boy was the
one of Alvin Ourso, senior; and the
