I'm surprised the BBC did not mention the following two planes:

The Deperdussin Monocoque racer, an airplane WAY ahead of its time in terms of aerodynamics and structural design:

The Boeing B-47 bomber, which pioneered many of the aerodynamic aspects of modern jet airliners:

My paternal grandfather was a fly along mechanic in the 6th Pursuit Squadron stationed at Luke Field, Hawaii in the early 1920s. The DH4-B he was in collided in midair with another aircraft and ended up in Pearl Harbor on 10/30/22. The pilot was killed and he spent a few months in hospital. I never got to meet him since he died three years before I was born.

Ha...they missed English Engineer F. W. Lanchester who discovered the mathematical equations of flight (in the late 1890's)way before the Wright Bros....

Frederick W. Lanchester, a well-known British automative engineer, had composed a circulation theory of sustenation as early as 1894.
