RE: 'father of flight'
There are some kids from German that need to learn to respect people, in first place, then come to talk.
Like I said, It was my intention to rise this discution, at least people start knowing things.
I'm sure the Wright Brothers have the right for many glories, like your said giving rides, flying from city to city, whatever.
I'm just concluding what I always knew. People still belive in Santa Claus and that Elvis is alive and just because they want to, not because they have proof of anything, like a religious thing.
It could even be correct to say the the Wright brothers flew first, who knows, there were no witness!
By the way, the inventor of the ailerons is Santos Dumont, so I guess he knew pretty much how to control an airplane. He was the first to use it. People, please do some research first!
Here in WA, in the Museum of Flight, there is a nice section about Santos Dumont, next to the Wright brothers. Regardless who flew first, both deserve recognition.
