Bad Predictions
"In the opinion of competent experts, it is idle to look for a
commercial future for the flying machine. There is , and always will
be a limit to its carrying capacity. Some will argue that because a
machine will carry two people, another may be constructed that will
carry a dozen, but those who make this contention do not understand
the theory."
- W. J. Jackman and Thomas Russell, Flying Machines: Construction and
Operation, 1910.
