Affidavit of Michael Werer
I, Michael Werer, residing at 824 Wrodin Avenue, do depose and say that I was personally acquainted with the late Gustave
Whitehead and was associated (or employed by) with him during his experiments with heavier than air flying machines.
On about Sept or Oct 1901 I was present on the occasion when Mr. Whitehead succeeded in flying his machine, propelled by motor on a flight of about four hundred feet, at about six
feet off the ground, for a length of time approximating half minute.
The type of machine used by Mr. Whitehead was a folding wing Monoplane. This flight took place on Tunxis Hill Road near
Mountain Grove Cemetery, Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Signed and Witnessed, Sept. 24, 1934
