[Public-List] Factory installed wheel steering

[David Gilbert]

Very early on in my life, I spent some time playing saxophone in an  
Air Force Concert Band and I recall some of the WW2 guys telling about  
the troops being gathered to hear King George VI. He opened his  
remarks with, "men of the Navy, Army and gentlemen of the Air Force."  
I think that gave the junior service the edge on arrogance.
