Charles Matthews Manly was a recent graduate of Cornell University when he was hired by Samuel Langley to be his main assistant in constructing his aerodrome (airplane). That led to a stressful and dramatic period trying to get the aerodrome to fly in increasingly public experiments, with Manly as pilot. He survived, and went on to be a respected engineer in New York City.[1]
Glenshaw's 2020 presentation describes Manly and his role extensively.
