Gilmore explained. However, flights
along the coast, where the air cur
rents are favorable, are not only
probable but possible. He said that
when pilots become experienced in
the manipulation OF the gliders, n
may leave Brownsville and travel TO

Recent designs revert to the mono

The public's avid interest In avia-

There are comparatively few per-

rapidly decreasing annually.
Nation Going Air Minded
The public realizes that the fu-
ture method of transportation is in
the air. and consequently interest
has conferred In aviation.
Besides the realization OF the i'm
portance of flying, the act itself is
thrilling.
Gliding Is flying In the embryo
stage. 1t retains the thrill but has
an added safety.

they began to fly at Kitty Hawk,
North Carolina.
Three years passed.
Then, on December II, 1903. they
flew. Their ship was a light glider
fitted with a small motor, and the
first flight lasted less than a min
ute. They then made several
flights. lasting from II to So sec
onds each.
The first flight they made in pu-
hlic was in 1903.
