Every flying magazine felt compelled (naturally) to write extensively

about
the Wright Brothers for the past year, to the point where I simply

didn't
want to read another article about them... Each magazine seemed to be
struggling to top the others in hyperbole and hoopla, and I guess I
experienced "Wright Overload"...


Of course, the greatest irony of all is that Richard Pearce beat them by

the
best part of a year.


And Gustav Weisskopf (Gustave Whitehead) by 2 years. Maybe.
