[Land-speed] Aero Surfaces...

As recently as 1995 the Hoffman/Markley 'liner set the E/BFS record @ 248  
mph with retractable wings, or canards (sp). Not sure I'd try to steer with one, 
 seems I remember Breedlove tried it on the Sprit back in '63. Your covering 
over  2 1/2 football fields a second at 300, when the Hammond lakester crashed 
@ 315  it was over almost before you knew it was happening. 
Hey Glen, you and JD and a few others have so much history both in print  and 
memory, what are we going to do in the future? Are you trying to scan it and  
write it down? I know it a tremendous amount of work but I'd hate to see us 
lose  the historic resource you guys are. The past is important in LSR as I'm 
sure you  know.
