The Wright brothers bought 7 french engines Bariquand & Marre to power the planes they finally flew in front of credible witnesses in 1908
The articles, "Aviation in US. Seven french engines for the Wright brothers, L'Aérophile, Apr. 1, 1908, pag. 127" which says that the french company "Barriquaud-Mare" had just delivered seven 40 HP Antoinette like plane engines to the Wright brothers and "Progress of the Wright airplane experiments", Scientific American, May 23, 1908 that also talks about french engines, demonstrate, both of them, that the two inventors needed in May 1908 far more powerful engines for far less spectacular flights than the ones allegedly performed in 1905. Also on Aug. 8, 1908, the Wright brothers using the same french engines flew only 1 min and 45 sec in France, far from 38 minutes in Dayton in 1905 when a 20 HP home made motor was allegedly used. These brothers have simply no credibility and only their officially witness flights can be trusted. The rest is their own fiction.
