My grandfather was the most educated man I knew and he had an 8th grade education. He built an aluminum skinned airplane in his mid twenties with his cousin in Florida and they flew it to the 1939 Worlds Fair in New York. The major hold up of the project was finding a suitable engine, they finally found a 9 cylinder radial engine that was much larger than what they needed so he extended the wings and put 250 lbs of lead in the tail to balance the plane. Then the problem was “like the Spirit of Saint Louis” he couldn’t see past the engine to fly the plane and land, so he made a hatch up top and his cousin would relay instructions to him. They ended up crashing the plane on the way back from New York landing at an airfield in Greenville SC. They hitch hiked back to Florida. They don’t build men like that anymore, I don’t know what the Nazis were thinking starting a fight with those super men and women….. fools. No wonder the the Cabal coward in fear and crawled in the shadows of God fearing men like that. God bless the greatest generation!
