Guest eland2705 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Mate - to be honest, I really don't mind who it was. I am just very glad that they did, and now I can too. :thumb_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F22 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 If flying means movement through air without any physical contact with the ground, I guess the first person to jump to their death :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rocketdriver Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Given that you don't need an engine to fly (gliders do quite nicely, thankyou:)) you would have to add George Cayley's coachman, Otto Lienthal and Percy Pilcher to the list wouldn't you"?:thumb_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinsm Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Powered flight would have to be Pierce in NZ, a couple of months before the Wright Bros. Cheers Maynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
