    ALERT!: new book, "Gustave Whitehead: First in Flight"

    There are no authoritative sources cited yet. What is related is the misinformation being spread by Smithsonian and its cadre of supporters. I think you might be interested in the issue of control concerning the Wrights' plane; take a look at Bullmer's book, The WRight Story.

    ALERT!: new book, "Gustave Whitehead: First in Flight"

    I am interested on whose authority you are saying this? How do you know there is no evidence? I hope it is not the ineptocracy ... (which I happen to agree with the existence of, BTW)

    ALERT!: new book, "Gustave Whitehead: First in Flight"

    The Smithsonian's current exhibit on Whitehead and its public statements say that GW never left the ground. But then again, they are under contract to say Orville was first. The evidence for Whitehead is mountainous, and has been condensed into a 432 page book. See what you think!

    ALERT!: new book, "Gustave Whitehead: First in Flight"

    So do you think Whitehead, making powered flights with a flying machine between 1901-1903 should receive some sort of credit? Or that it should still be said he never left the ground (even with 18 witnesses who say different and multiple local newspapers confirming this, even eyewitnessing it)...

    ALERT!: new book, "Gustave Whitehead: First in Flight"

    The question is, if someone else was making powered flights before the Wrights, is that degrading them or reporting history? If we are getting the wrong info on the Wrights from current historians, shouldn't we learn what was really happening? For a great, technical read about the Wrights and...

    THE WRIGHT BROTHERS, David McCullough

    I am interested in what actually happened as flight was emerging. It was a fascinating time. I think everyone on this board is likely interested in that.

    THE WRIGHT BROTHERS, David McCullough

    From what I have seen of this book and heard from its author, it was poorly researched. Another book, "The WRight Story" by Joe Bullmer, is more historically accurate. Bullmer is an aeronautical engineer who worked at Wright Patterson AFB in the intelligence sector for 30 years. He analyzed...

    The Wright brothers just glided in 1903. They flew for the first time in 1908.

    There was just a contest held to field suggestions. I suggested "Second in Flight" but I doubt it will win.

    The Wright brothers just glided in 1903. They flew for the first time in 1908.

    There are no affidavits or formal declarations from anyone for the Wrights. I have checked this out with the LOC and Wright State University. None exist.

    The Wright brothers just glided in 1903. They flew for the first time in 1908.

    I have researched the Wright Brothers for 30 years obtaining primary source documents rarely seen. We have been bamboozled for well over a century about who was first in flight. It was necessary for the Wrights to claim being first in flight in order to expand their patent rights as pioneer...
