		Day’s interest in clouds was first of a technical nature, learning to forecast their appearance and development as they impacted on Pan Am Clipper flights.
		Studies of clouds in the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s were directed toward gaining a fuller understanding of the physical causes that led to the formation of particular cloud types.
		This was the start of an ongoing close relationship that led to the first generation cloud chart, and the Skywatcher’s Cloud Chart, a later result of a collaborative effort with the Weather Channel.

		The clipper entered a zone of light clouds, which gradually shut off a view of the ground.
		Robur, seeing that the president and secretary of the Weldon Institute had directed their attention to the external arrangements of the _Albatross,_ walked up to them and said: "Well, gentlemen, do you believe in the possibility of aerial locomotion by machines heavier than air?" It would have been difficult not to succumb to the evidence.
		There were symptoms of an approaching typhoon -- a rapid fall of the barometer, a disappearance of vapor, large clouds of ellipsoid form clinging to a copper sky, and, on the opposite horizon, long streaks of carmine on a slate-colored field, with a large sector quite clear in the north.

	Powell's Books - The American-Built Clipper Ship, 1850-1856: Characteristics, Construction, and Details by William L. ...
		With the sweep of its bow, its graceful lines, and its clouds of canvas, the clipper ship sparked a romance with the American public that still endures 150 years later.
		Pushed by their masters, who drove them as no ships had been driven before, clippers reached and maintained speeds that were previously unheard of, setting records for sailing ship passages that were never to be surpassed.
		This book, the most important and detailed ever to appear on clipper ships, is the fruit of 35 years of research.

	Schimmel, A Life of Learning (ACLS Occasional Paper No. 21)
		The father was mild and gentle, and his love of mystical literature from all religions complemented the religious bent of the mother, grown up in the rigid tradition of northern German protestantism, but also endowed with strong psychic faculties as is not rare in people living close to the unpredictable ocean.
		The dark clouds of war became more and more terrifying; the bombing stronger—I remember walking for four hours through burning streets in search of a lost colleague, of giving shelter to friends who had lost everything, and reading about the worsening political situation in the telegrams we had to decipher in our office.
		I loved to listen to her discourses which went on in long, swinging sentences, while the sky over the Bosphorus seemed to be covered with clouds of roses.

		The anxious watcher focused in his telescope at the rapidly approaching tea clipper flying clouds of canvas that could only be the Sea Witch, ring tails and studding sails set, scudding up the New Jersey coast as she caught the winds from the south-southeast.
		Her sleek, fl hull slicing through the choppy swells, with the crew at last taking in her studding sails one after the other and running up her private signal.
		It was March 25, 1849, and there were no tea clippers due for another two weeks, but there was no denying that there was the Sea Witch, flaunting her coiled dragon figurehead with the pointed tail, back from her third voyage around the world.

		The public fervor surrounding locally built clippers generated intense intercity rivalries and a new type of thinking.
		Their heyday was astonishingly brief by the 1860s giving way to safer, more commodious, iron steamships, which were not at the mercy at the wind.
		This is a very (thick) detailed book on the construction of real historic clipper ships.

		Indeed, those who have studied the history of aeronautics will be aware that man's desire for the conquest of the air has run in two channels.
		For one the goal is a real air "ship", the "clipper of the clouds" that Jules Verne so admirably anticipated - for the other it is a pair of wings, for which men will "call as familiarly as for their boots" - a kind of aerial motor car.
		The lighter-than-air craft and the heavier-than-air craft translate these two desires into practical terms.

	PlayXcess - Journey to the Centre of the Earth Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		As anybody with a moderate grasp of awareness will be aware, the game is based on the eponymous novel by Jules Verne; a pioneering scientific visionary who inspired such profound minds as H. Wells and Asimov.
		His novels put a radical slant on modern science and technology via other seminal novels such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Clipper of the Clouds and From the Earth to the Moon.
		Be assured, however, that no knowledge of the book is required to enjoy the game; and the literary overtones are only truly useful in allowing hacks such as myself to wax pretentious about literature.

		Alberto is the son of Henrique Santos-Dumont, the wealthy Brazilian planter known as “the Coffee King.” As a boy Alberto is a dreamer who sits on the porch of his father’s estate home reading Jules Verne’s Clipper of the Clouds, and gazing at the sky, dreaming of airships.
		Alberto uses castor oil to lubricate the engine, so it gives off clouds of smelly smoke.
		A big touring car rides alongside, trying to track its speed, and to make sure the wheels are off the ground.

	The Invention Of The Helicopter
		The American inventor Thomas Alva Edison tried to develop a helicopter built around a guncotton-powered engine in the early 1880s, but after an explosion that singed him and badly burned one of his staff, he gave it up, though he expressed confidence that the concept would ultimately be made to work.
		He finally achieved success in 1928 with his "S-38" amphibian aircraft, which established the Sikorsky name and associated with amphibians and flying boats that would evolve into the great and elegant ocean-spanning Sikorsky Clippers.
		In 1929, Sikorsky moved the Sikorsky Aviation Corporation to Stratford, Connecticut, where the company was soon bought out by the giant United Aircraft conglomerate, becoming the Sikorsky Division.

		With 8 million newspaper readers and 250,000 schoolchildren in tow through a live education program created by Wilson and sitesALIVE!, GAII raced across the oceans of the world, in pursuit of the clipper and her billowing clouds of sail.
