The claim that he has invented an airship which he sails over Wilkesbarre at night is made by George W. Dress. he refuses to show the machine or describe it in detail, saying he keeps it hidden and will not show it until his patents are perfected.
He says he will make a public flight on June 15th, by which time he hopes to have his patents. He operates it, he says, without gas, rising by a system of aeroplants operated by powerful twin motors, and ascending nad descending within a space of 160 feet. he says he has been working on the machine for 18 years.
