Penerbangan tampaknya hampir merupakan hadiah dari surga bagi negara-negara Barat yang sudah menjadi pemimpin di zaman mereka, memperkuat kepemimpinan mereka, kepercayaan diri mereka, dominasi mereka terhadap orang lain. Asli: Aviation seems almost a gift from heaven to those Western nations who were already the leaders of their era, strengthening their leadership, their confidence, their dominance over other peoples.

— Kata-kata Bijak dari Charles Lindbergh
