Flushed, intense, George White sat optimistically astride his invention. He pedalled furiously to force the wings to a rate of 100 flaps per minute, cast off from the car, rose gracefully in air. Like some prehistoric monster, the ornithopter, wings glistening in sunlight, described a gigantic parabola and came, back to earth.
