An online biography based on the O ' Dwyer and Randolph books asserts that the engine Whitehead purportedly used in Pittsburgh attracted the attention of Australian aeronautical pioneer, Lawrence Hargrave, who in 1889 invented a rotary engine: " This steam machine was so ingenious that several years later Lawrence Hargrave told of using miniature designs of " Weisskopf-style " steam machines, as well as the " Weisskopf System " for his model trials in Australia.

The inadequacy of the French aeronautical programs, as well as the indecision of the high command, resulted in the French Air Force being placed in a position of weakness, confronting a modern and well organized Luftwaffe, whose first teeth had been proverbially cut in Spain ( Most proeminently with the bombing of Gernika-Lumo ), where the civil war had ended in March 1939 with victory for the Fascist dictator Francisco Franco.
