In light of JPF’s recent interview, I have been wondering if there is something special about California gold. Did it produce a better monatomic variety? I assume it was used for the 1855 Sonora Aero Club and 1897 airships as a room temperature superconductor for plasma. Maybe it was also used by Ambrose Bierce for the Aerophon?
Did a young Baron Von Richtofen fly in an airship before the Wright Brothers flew?
