Pearse certainly did not document his experiments well. But there were multiple witnesses. It appears that he achieved flight on 31th March 1903.
The Wright brother's contributions to flight were obviously more significant due to their process but that alone does not mean that they were first.
- WalterBright 2y agoThere are lots of witnesses to bigfoot, too. It took several years of concerted effort for the Wrights to achieve flight. Is it possible that someone tinkering in a barn could design and build one in one go? Engine, wings, propellor, flight controls, all correctly put together? Where are the remains of his machine? His notebooks? It's possible that Pearson did it, but highly unlikely. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I've invented things that I never documented. Other people invented them later, documented it, and got the credit. That's how it works.
