I have a soft spot for airplanes built
in that era, when jets were a new technology,
when struggles with materials and supersonic
speeds tested everyone's imagination and when
planes were designed by people, not computers.
Perhaps that is a byproduct of growing up
in the 1850's for which I am always glad. A
most interesting time.
