Sometimes I watch myself fly. For in the history of human flight it is not yet so very late and a man may still wonder once in a while and ask: how is it that I, poor earth-habitituated animal, can fly?

More quotes by Wolfgang Langewiesche
Get rid at the outset of the idea that the airplane is only an air-going sort of automobile. It isn't. It may sound like one and smell like one, and it may have been interior decorated to look like one but the difference is - it goes on wings.
Wolfgang Langewiesche
A fierce and monkish art a castigation of the flesh. You must cut out your imagination and not fly an airplane but regulate a half-dozen instruments . . . .At first, the conflicts between animal sense and engineering brain are irresistibly strong.
Wolfgang Langewiesche
Flying is done largely with the imagination.
Wolfgang Langewiesche
