Liscomb flew his homemade designs at the early meets and will describe both the technology and the culture of hang gliding.

  • Super, Bill! Thanks deeply.

    Some notes: [$1, not $5 for lithographic machine, not mimeograph; also, missed was the 1908 fact in Breslau of cable-braced triangle control frame for HG; missed Paresev eight pilots on tubular-framed; missed Mike Burns prior to JD; thus the JD credit was off on the mechanics.]
