Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration, helped shape early American national identity and the flag story.

Turning Is Difficult Maneuver for Flyers
The student flyer finds turning challenging though not the hardest. Turning requires coordinating stick and rudder while changing two planes of travel, unlike cars. Poor turns have caused airplane accidents, leading to thoughts that automatic control from the aileron could assist in banking during turns.
