A critique of the Signal Corps specifications for aircraft. Includes this comment:
Why is not the experience with Professor Langley a good guide? Some $100,000 was expended and while his machine was never given a fair trial, a fac-simile of his machine, the Blériot, recently flew in Paris and Professor Langley's labors brought this country to the front rank many years ahead of all other nations, and now after 14 years his efforts and results are still the highest and most reliable reference in the art.
