NOW IT FENES TO FLY IN
AN ABNOPLANE
It's an entirely new sensation. This swift, free glide of an aumplans is more exhilarating than the fastest, hojan. It's the greatest_sport in the world." This enthusiastic testimony is given by Mr. &, M. Herring of New York, one of the oldest and most successful builders of aeroplanes. It is generally conceded that the flying machine has arrived and that in a few Year the new means of locomotion will be comparatively common. It is already possible to describe the new sensation of flying from

The highest praise of any form of rapid loco mol op basalways been that it is "like flying"
