Sample text
Why is your camp on fire? It’s just smoke. We’re burning some old wood. It’s the only thing that helps keep the mosquitoes away. 33 Minutes later. Cough… cough… The mosquitoes are worse. I’ll take my chances with the smoke. We’re trying to squeeze in as much practice time with the glider as we can. Practice is the key to the secret of flying.

It has taken time, but we are finally improving on the distance we can cover— sometimes gliding more than even 90 meters.

The army had earlier invested in Langley’s aircraft, and did not want to repeat their mistake. And thus they started focussing on the business aspect of the invention.
In just two months, they managed to analyze a tremendous amount of data. 35 Dear Father, This season is shaping up to be nothing but a series of endless delays. When we reached Kitty Hawk in August, we had to first repair our camp that was ravaged in the winter storms. Thus, our new glider was delayed, and got ready only in September. At first, we tested it like a kite and got in a few good glides, but we were delayed yet again by a bad crash. Anyway, we were not expecting things to be perfect.
