Like all such breakthroughs in history,
there were many people and organizations
working parallel towards the same goal.
Many of them were just as smart and
worked just as hard as the Wrights.
The Wrights came up with the right control
system, the right engine, the right airfoil
etc. at the right time. They also had the
newspaper and photographic documentation,
albeit very slim.
What if that AC had crashed on that day?
This is an extremely likely outcome of
such a flight. That would have set them back
an entire year if it was serious enough. One of
the others would have filled the void in that
time. They were close, very close.
the Wrights were intelligent, hardworking,
insightfull men who deserve their place in
history. Just don't discount the others as
loser also rans. They don't deserve it.
I must admit though, it's nice to see a
couple of shadetree homebuilders beat out
the likes of Bell et al, with all their money,
education and backing.

I visited Kill Devil Hill about 25 years ago. There were historical
markers that indicated that the Wright Brothers made four flights that
day, and the plane did crash at the conclusion of the fourth flight.
