When you look back on what they did the more amazing it becomes. First there two heads to work things out. Next they accomplished something many said could not be done. After that they spent 8 years refining it before they sold the first one to the Army. Meanwhile they fixed bicycles to pay for normal expenses. God we live in a wonderful country.

No I’m just an aviation junkie. I think they did wind tunnel test in Dayton bot mover to Kill Devil Hiil on the Outer Banks for full flight testing.
