Only their own exhaustion brought them down. Motor and plane were in serviceable condition until joy-crazy Clevelanders ripped at them for souvenirs. Also joyous, Otto I. Liesy, vice-president of Stewart Aircraft Co., who financed the project, kissed the flyers-both hard-boiled Army men. Popular son-of-a-brewer...
