But Wright Brothers weren't alone who build planes at the time and even weren't the first to have a successful flight. It was Santos-Dumont.

- casper345 8y agoOh interesting, did not know about Santos-Dumont. Probably my Amercian bias and history in school of just knowing the Weight Brothers.
- jjeaff 8y agoIt actually wasn't Santos Dumont. It was the wright brothers. But most Brazilians have convinced themselves otherwise. The sources clearly indicate the wright brothers were a year or more before Santos. It's just that many Brazilians simply claim that the wright brothers and those that witnessed the flight were lying. http://www.wright-brothers.org/History_Wing/History_of_the_Airplane/Who_Was_First/Santos_Dumont/Santos_Dumont.htm http://www.wright-brothers.org/History_Wing/History_of_the_A...
