Lorimer, John H., 1846-1918

John H. Lorimer wishes to clarify to Major Fuller why he presented his ideas for a militarized airplane to the Board of Ordnance and Fortification in the manner he did. Lorimer assumed that the government would need time to verify and experiment with his ideas before they progress in making it a workable project. Lorimer assumed that if his ideas passed all the appropriate checks, that further negotiations would ensue over contracts and compensation.
