"Never doubt for a moment that America will be successful." the Express added. The U.S. agreed with that statement: of course it would catch up, and quickly...

The yearly Club membership fee is $45. Each hour in the air costs $7 in the Cessna 120, and $9.50 in the Luscombe 8F. Since all members are expected to fly a minimum of one hour per month during the seven hour per month during the seven month school year, the minimum annual cost of belonging totals almost...
