Yes and especially the bit you also quoted "but neither, for that matter,
did the first powered flights of the Wright brothers in December 1903" Anyway its just a moot point. If it wasn't Pearse or the Wrights it would have been somebody else soon afterwards. The main thing is we are here in 2005 with the freedom and technology to build and fly our own aircraft. By the way I did go for a fly in the 100th Anniversary of the Wright's famous flight. 73 Phil vk6ad quoting Corky Scott: "Did you actually read the information you cited?" Corky Scott

No, I think it's fairly clear that the Wrights were *years* ahead of other aviation pioneers. If it wasn't the Wrights on Dec 17 1903, it would have been the Wrights soon afterwards. Frank
