La molécule active de cette fameuse pilule a été à l'origine identifiée par le Laboratoire pharmaceutique Pfizer qui conservait l'exclusivité de la fabrication et la commercialisation de la viagra jusqu'à l'expiration de son brevet.

| James Robinson Darien, CT | My father crashed on his first and only flight, in a Curtiss
Seagull, at 10:40AM 13 Nov 1918. He was USN enlisted, an aircraft mechanic, and for his good work he was offered a joy ride that went bad when the pilot fiddled with the fuel controls [it was later determined] to give his passenger(s) a thrill by having the engine sputter in flight. But he forgot and he lost control when the engine died just before touchdown. The plane flipped over, killing the pilot and severely injuring my father. Dad told me he was strapped in the nose from all directions so it must have been a model HS-2L, though the record says it was a model HS-2. Suggestions as to who I might contact for a more complete crash report will be greatly appreciated. 01/01/2001 @ 11:17 [ref: 1284] |
