I found a book called Early Flight ISBN 1-55521-227-1 at the ten
dollar book store in Semi Valley. It was published in 1987 and it
was a collection of article dating back to 1860.
I found an extraordinary article written in 1911 which was a long
interview with the Wright brothers. It is mostly their words. I was
astounded by their aircraft and aerodynamic knowledge and
predictions of the future of aviation.
I scanned it and compiled it into one pdf.
Here it is.

Thanks for the article. They were scientists. I have seen thir
wind tunnel.
I like your steel engine. concept. Don't forget about heat pipes
for the cooling. Might be a useful application.
I am still working on the alternating Otto-Rankine cycle rotary
engine concept to improve specific fuel consumption.
Keep up the newsletter. I know it is a lot of work, but I enjoy it.

We can use heat pipes if found necessary.
I have many other books on the Wright Brothers.
One of which is only 20 pages and titled "How We Made The First Flight".
Published by the FAA in 1988. Lots of good original black and white
pictures.
I might scan that when I get some extra time.
