...chartered, twin-engined plane circled the golf courses around Davenport, Iowa one bright morning last week, then landed at the city's new airport. Above a nearby hangar streamed a banner proclaiming: "Congratulations, we're proud of you, Jack." Below the banner hung a 20-ft. cardboard putter. Out stepped a lanky, lean, tired man in blue slacks and white sweater. A thousand welcomers cheered. Unashamedly, the weary man wept.

...check this theory, Farnborough built 100 small wooden models of the Comet, with parts designed to come apart. They were dropped from balloons or from the top of a hangar. At last one of them broke up in just the way that Yoke Peter did. Its center section spun down to the ground, where its fragments were distributed on the ground in the same pattern that the fragments of Yoke Peter had made on the bottom of the Mediterranean...
