The fact that someone designed an airplane which later crashed does not necesarily reflect on his competence.

"Pilot error" is a frequent cause of crashes. Even in an unmanned plane there is someone controlling it.

I know. I said it was an impressive design. I believe it was the first to fly around the world with no refueling.
