Excerpt from The Forum, Vol. 26: September, 1898-February, 1899

The work of this commission has been greatly facilitated by the fact, that the interest in aeronautics has steadily increased during recent dec ades; this interest being due, in great part, to the exigencies of modern warfare. German military operations have necessitated the expenditure of a considerable sum of money; and a part of this has been devoted to aeronautic investigation. In this way the researches of students have received a powerful stimulus; and much valuable information, both as regards equipment and technic, has been obtained. Indeed the aseen sions which have taken place at Berlin have been conducted under the auspices of the Emperor himself, with the active cooperation of the officers attached to the Engineer Corps (aeronautic Division) of the Ger man army. It was in this branch of the service that the writer received his practical training in aeronautical science.
