...throttle; the propeller whirls noisily and the queer craft scoots along the road. ... At the airport the driver fetches a monoplane wing, bolts it into place just abaft the cabin door. A fuselage tail, with control surfaces, is hooked onto the coupe's bustle-like stern (see cut). The driver (now a pilot) steps on the same gas throttle as before, steers with the same steering wheel, prods the same foot-brake, kites down the runway, climbs...
