Not the first, What about Lilienthal, Percy Pilcher and many others, Glen 
Curtiss too. They were the first to demonstrate powered flight but that was 
all. Many others flew and soared.

I hope the beaurocrats and nimbies in the US (and everywhere else) don't 
suppress the enthusiasm of people like the Wrights and stop them advancing 
human achievements.
