1930 April 7, “Luchtvaart. Zweefvliegen boven de duinen”, in Alkmaarsche Courant, volume 132, number 82, page 8:

Wie in den opwind is moet leeren zelf de situatie te beoordeelen en zelf te beslissen hoe te reageeren, en hij moet dat schielijk doen, anders klinkt hem het kraken van zijn zweeftuig als verwijt in de ooren, dat hij nog maar een stumpert is.

1931 January, “Zweefvliegen langs strand en duinen”, in De Corinthian. Geïllustreerd maandblad voor amateursport, volume 8, number 1, page 24:

Het zweefvliegen is echter een uitstekend aanloopje voor den loopbaan van piloot; het thermische vliegen, gebruikmaken van opwind en wolken, kan voor den piloot van groot belang zijn. In het motorlooze vliegtuig leert men deze luchtstroomingen kennen en leert men hoe men daarvan gebruik kan maken.... in het motorvliegtuig weet men, wat zoo'n opwind, zoo'n valwind, zoo'n rukwind beduidt en dan kan men er rekening mede houden, al heeft een en ander minder vat op het toestel, dan dat in een zweeftoestel het geval is....
