--> Yak-List message posted by: cpayne@mc.net
Yes,
The first "Biplane" was indeed from China. Long before the age of Mammals, such
as the
modern Yak.
Here is the proof:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030122/ap_on_sc/four_winged_dinosaur_1
An excerpt:
Fossil hunters in China have discovered what
may be one of the weirdest prehistoric species
ever seen a four-winged dinosaur that apparently
glided from tree to tree.
The 128-million-year-old animal called
Microraptor gui, in honor of Chinese
paleontologist Gu Zhiwei was about 2 1/2
feet long and had two sets of feathered wings,
with one set on its forelimbs and the other on
its hind legs.

Silly, it wasn't a biplane, it was a canard. The critter was practicing to fly
around the world non-stop and unrefuled but the 200hp water-cooled Continental
engine hadn't evolved yet.
Searching on "flying" and "China" were we?

Not to be outdone the Russians obviously looked into the field of heavy
transport. Just could not get an engine big enough at the time.
