Before Indianapolis had much of an airport, a plane, out of commission, landed there and the pilot could not get it started. A bystander remarked that he "bet that Mitchell boy could fix it." The pilot replied "Who is he? Go get him." LeRoy, a mere boy, climbed into the machine with fear and trembling, for he had never touched an airplane. But he swallowed the lump in his throat, touched this and that, examined here and there, only hoping that the thing would not start up with him in it. In a short time the engine roared, LeRoy got out and the pilot happily wended his way.
