I did write it, and would be happy to send you a copy if you give me your e-mail address. Included in it is a deposition naming Joseph Cessna as part of a conspiracy involving the Britis and the Indians. The article deals with other invovement by other Cessna brothers. You'll find it interesting. PS: I have gotten the impression that most self-proclaimed Cessna researchers are more interested in protecting family myth than in facts and theories supported by fact. For example, I don't see how one can try to connect the Cessna name to some Castle in Europe when connection/ history can't even be established by verfiable information in America. I know how hard people can cling to family legends, family myths and I know it's easier not to think, just to accept what is handed down. Seems st me, the first assumptions to check should be the validity of the family myths and inaccuricies and misrepresentations in the book the House of Cessna. Everything emanates from that point. It's either true or not.
