I
Believe in Aviation!
Not
because its a game, but because it has unlimited possibilities of
usefulness as a factor in modern transportation. I
KNOW just as surely as I have eyes to see that speed
and more
speed
is the most vital thing in business today.
I know that a thousand lines of business in a
thousand details requiring speed in transportation can be better
served by aviation than by any other means of moving things and men. And, knowing this, I know that Aviation is
here to stay.
Glimpsing
the tremendous future of this industry, I am determined to have a mans
part in its development. I hereby highly
resolve that I will, in future, always treat, think and speak of
Aviation as Transportation as a serious, constructive
business force. I will give the best that
I have to its permanent development. I
will never allow myself to become discouraged by mishaps, by temporary
setbacks, or by the pessimism of others. I
will do my particular job in the best way that I can conceive of its
being done: I will constantly seek to find
better ways of doing it, and I will stick to that job until the last
dog is hung!
For-today
and tomorrow and as far as my imagination can project itself into the
future
with all my heart and soul
I BELIEVE in AVIATION!
