It’s really funny…and irritating, honestly. Like I keep seeing all of these posts like ‘lol Americans getting salty when they learn that they didn’t invent the airplane’ like….we did? We’re actually salty that you’re spreading misinformation.
Like it honestly shouldn’t even be a debate. There was a three year time gap between Kitty Hawk in 1903 and Santos-Dumont’s flight in 1906. Even if you don’t count Kitty Hawk, the Wright Brothers flew again throughout 1904 and 1905 (including a 24 mile long flight), which is still a full year before Paris.
