Helicopter Forerunner of New Age

DAYTON. Ohio. Jan. ~. - Will air.
planes soon rise directly from city
streets without the necessity of an open
field for the take-Off:
Or will planes be able to alight on
any roof or in any street? .
And in time of war will planes be
able 10 rise from the deck of battle
ship. do their work of destruction and
then return to alight again on the
batteship's deck?
All that is possible if the new De-
Bothezaat helcopter is a complete
success, say air experts at McCook
field here.
The DeBothezaat helicopter-the first
airplane that rises directly from the
ground-has been successfully tried out
here and now is undergoing thorough
tests.
The first try-out took place Deem
Der Is, 1922; just 20 years and one
day after the Wright brothers first
flight. which also was at Dayton.
Russian Is Inventor.
DR.. George DeBothezaat, Russian
scientist. is the inventor Of the new
helicoptcr. He started work on his
device in July, 1921, aided by experts
at McCook field. The government
spent 100000 to perfect the machine.
Fifty-three flights already have been
made.
