Orson Welles famous line from "The Third Man' needs a revision. "500 years of peace and democracy produced the cuckoo clock...and the jet wing."

I just tried to imagine the size of a jet wing that could loft Orson Welles.

I failed.

It was actually a jet pack in Thunderball; I am ashamed I haad to look that up.
