22 August 1913

On Aug. 22, 1913 the New York Times reported that aviator Hans J. Weidemann of Hempstead, L.I., had been left $50,000 by his late uncle on condition that he marry by age 40. He said, however, that the aeroplane held first place in his heart, adding, "I think that a married man, and particularly a father, has no right to fly."
