Thanks for bringing Dummont up. All the Wright Brothers built was a glider that could fall from a pillar.

Dummont created the first motorized airplane, which is a look more like a real airplane than an ultra-light that can't launch itself.

And 100 years earlier there was an Italian that came up with a model airplane that would have flown if built to human scale.

I really don't understand why people care so much about the Wright Brothers. I can't see what they invented originally at all.
