Rigid Wing Fatality


Leo's Fatal Attempt

Leo Valetin was experimenting in the late 40's with winged flight, had several injuries & kept coming back with a new plan. He was getting really close to planning how to land it (and live). His last configuration looked like he had it. So he exited a large door from a D-18 type aircraft. This attempt was his last. Anyone who thinks that they have invented something new with "winged" jumpsuits should see this article.
