Actually, the statistics of the 5th flight (they actually got off the ground
for about 10 ft. on Dec. 14, but decided not to count that) we re garbled by
the telegraph office. The recorded stats are 852 feet in 59 seconds. And the
wind was probably closer to 27 mph than 21. Ground speed was only 6.8 mph.
But you are right, distance teaveled through the air was greater.
