"No flights of any kind were made except those of our own machine, which, strange to say, did not become a public amusement."

"The fact that the machine was controlled in all directions was a feature which had never been approached in any earlier flight of which we have any knowledge."

"We had no idea of the amount of publicity that would follow our flights."

"We were much pleased with the general performance of the machine."

"The difficulties were great, but our faith was greater."
