Hasse Wind 46 Posted December 17, 2010 What the Wrights did was great, but one mustn't forget that they weren't the only pioneers of flight. There were quite a few people all around the world who greatly contributed to the birth of flying machines and their theory and practice. You could say that the Wrights were standing on the shoulders of giants. The subject of early aviation history is extremely fascinating, with all the crazy balloon pilots, gliders and everything.
