I suppose I should disclose that I do have a personal interest in writing this article, as the subject is an ancestor of mine. With that in mind, I've tried to provide sources as frequently as possible. I could expand the Personal life section significantly, but I'd like to see if I can track down any sort of verifiable information before expanding it much further. Photos will hopefully be on the way over the following weeks as I verify licensing (personal family photos versus media photos) and digitise them for upload. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 22:15, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

"Whereas stainless steel later became the standard material for aircraft..."

Say what? I'm only aware of one other stainless steel airplane. Aluminum was the standard material until carbon fiber came along.

Agreed, I think I misread something while I was writing it -- I can't track it down in the sources. I'll take it out. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 16:36, 24 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
