Obviously also, if you have been an ace, you understand that the majority of aeronautical accidents are the pilot's fault and that being up in the air, so long as no one is shooting at you from another plane, is as safe as being on the ground and much more pleasant. Accordingly, the de Sibours would go around the world in a $3,250 airplane which uses 4½ gallons...
