Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 February 1919 — The Airplane Runabout. [ARTICLE]

The Airplane Runabout.

At last there is being produced in England a small airplane, with wings extending only 15 feet, or actually less than the wing extension of a real bird, the albatross. This, to be sure, would be a large albatross, but cases have been known »f these birds measuring 17 and 1$ feet from tip to tip. There is evident advance toward the day when anybody who can afford the price Will be able to own an airplane, without the need of a special landing place for it. The one referred to can.. it is claimed, come down in the street without blocking traffic any more than would a hay wagon on its way to marker.
