I always that it was some Greek God who was the first one to fly. the problem he got to high and close to the sun and the wax melted the feathers fell off and he dropped to the ground. the fall did not kill him it was the sudden impact.

Powered flight is not controlled flight. The Wright Bros. were the first to achieve controlled flight with wing warping, the precursors to ailerons. Not just controlled flight, but sustained flight. The most historically significant happening in the field of flight was the development of a heavier-than-air craft whose airborne range was for all practical purposes limited only by fuel capacity. The Wright Brothers' first powered flight would not have been historically significant but for the fact that it paved the way for sustained flight. Even if someone else could fly with some degree of control before the Wright Brothers did so, such ability would be historically insignificant if they didn't develop the ability to fly for miles at a stretch.

I wonder why no one has written about it before or that witnesses came forward at the time who saw the flight.It was also the first use of stealth technology. Plane had a sheet over it.

Keep in mind, this coming from the same constitution-hating communist imbeciles that just outlawed .22 rifles. Constitution State, my azz. Communist State would be more like it. This state is being run by the insane.

CT is going about this in the wrong way. We all know that if you just tell Susan Rice to say it, it will be accepted as fact. Obama better intervene and straighten this out. (Is a sarcasm tag really required?)

“If it isnt documented, it didnt happen.”
Correct. Just like lawyer friends always tells me, it’s not the truth that counts, it’s what evidence and how many witnesses you can stroll into the court room. It’s a frikkin’ drawing for crying out loud.

I just finished reading a Tesla biography, "Prodigal Genius: the Life of Nikola Tesla"; by John J. O'Neill. The author actually knew Tesla, a pretty good book if you are interested in Tesla. "Tesla: Man Out of Time"; was another informative book.

Evidence in Hartford? With the exception of a few Sens. and Reps. they do what the want. Phone calls, letters and email are just to make you feel like they care.

Hopefully the good folk in NC will mobilize and take out the trash in Conn and remove the restrictive gun laws after they take over.

Here is an excellent article on this: http://www.gustave-whitehead.com/history-of-whitehead-critics/scientific-american-early-flights/ Scientific American, Sept. 19, 1903, p.204 "Stanley Yale Beach, grandson of the founder of Scientific American, son of its Editor and himself Aeronautical Editor, wrote five articles in which he credited Whitehead for having flown a powered aeroplane in 1901. Comment: It's hard to imagine how Orville Wright thought he could strengthen his claim to first flight by citing Beach."
