He deserves a lot more attention than he gets. He has been forgotten because he would not patent. He was such a great humanitarian and his story is so inspiring, he should be remembered. ( I did a children's book about him. You can read about him and see some of the illustrations based on Alberto's descriptions of flight at the website above. (Alberto designed a rocket powered backpack for skiers that reminds me a bit of the personal flying machine you filmed.) Thanks once again for mentioning Alberto!
