A number. of the men who workéd with him during the| years he labored to develop his | flying machine—the aerodrome, he called” it—are still attached * to the staff of the institution. Their meniories of him are vivid today. As boys or young men, they wer2 profoundly impressed by the knowledge and foresight of the . reserved scientist they served. . Makes Prediction One whose contact with him was particularly intimate recalls that in the early nineties, long before his Aerodrome No. 5 made| the first successful flight of a heavier<than-air machin? drivén by its own power, 1896, Langley put into words his fear that the might become an instrument of death and destruction. Dictating to his secretary, he expressed hope that at interna tional convention would be de- vised to ‘prohibit the use of| " “aerodromes™ in time of war to attack cities and industrial cen- ters. He saw the' great possibilities| of heavier-than-air flying ma- chines #s Instruments of war, for| reconnalssance and quick com- munication, and as engines of peace.
