 |
|
In 1935 my friends and I made a so-called french War Kite: a 10' tall
box kite with wings, made from bamboo rug poles and much butcher
paper from one kid's father's meat store. Used all the clothes line
available (and made available). Won a week at Boy Scout Camp (=$7).
Later, fitted with a board seat hung some 50' from kite, the youngest
gang member was hoisted aloft...maybe 50-60' until his screams
alerted some of our mothers, and Phil was reeled in...never to fly
again.
regards,
Bob N.
