The PLISKA AEROPLANE - A Blacksmith's Aeroplane in Midland, TX

gotta love that spirit, may it never die within us:

On November 19, 1911 Robert G. Fowler landed his Wright Flyer II in Midland. Pliska had been fascinated with aeroplanes and Fowler's visit rekindled Pliska's dream of building one. He discussed his plan with Gray Coggin, a local auto mechanic, and together they took photographs and studied Fowler's plane and made plans to create their own aeroplane
