Excerpt from Langley Memoir on Mechanical Flight: Part I. 1887 to 1896; Part II. 1897 to 1903

Persons who care only for the accomplished fact may be inclined to under rate the interest and value of this record. But even they may be reminded that but for such patient and unremitting devotion as is here enregistered, the now accomplished fact of mechanical flight would still remain the wild unrealized dream which it was for so many centuries.
