Aeronautical experts opined that Postman Dole had been well advised to seek out M. Painlevé with his model. Statesman Painlevé is known among the little circle of the mathematically learned as a veritable genius for abstruse calculation, and he has long employed that faculty in toying with the difficult problems of aerodynamics. Intrepid, he was the first Frenchman to fly with Wilbur Wright. Since the early days of that adventure he has kept a firm grip upon both the practice and the theory of aeronautics...
