Extract

I have, for the second time, the honour of addressing you. Four years ago I told you how I had had the good fortune to discover a new method of flying with characteristics altogether different from the conventional aeroplane.

To-day, taking advantage of your kind invitation, I come to tell you of how the crude experimental autogiros of 1925 have been developed into practical flying machines. I will also deal with a number of theoretical points in justification of the assertions I have often made about the qualities of the autogiro and in answer to the criticisms of which my system has been made the object from time to time.
