Bad Predictions
"The use of aircraft over water has much to be said for it. They
present, however, one tremendous difficulty. To get off the ground
with the weight of passengers, freight, mail and fuel with which they
would be loaded requires a landing field of gargantuan proportions.
Certainly there are no fields today in either the U.S. or Europe which
could accommodate such a plane. And it may be impracticable ever to
build them."
- Forbes Magazine, July 1, 1938.
