Have found the above early pilot and mechanic uttered these words according to the website http://www.paulrichterttwalegend.com/

I get re-directed to another search site, with search results for many combinations of “Paul Richter” without any TWA component) “TWA” without any Paul Richter content, etc.

You added an extra “t” in the “TWA” part.

Here is the correct link:

And the quote:

“Give me enough power and I can fly a barn door.” Paul E. Richter Jr.

In 1924, Paul earned his pilot license #309 and in 1927, Airplane and Engine mechanic’s license #702 and Air Transport license #501. He died in May 1949 at 53 years old.
