First Flight

About a year ago, there was this documentary about how the Wright Bros were not the first to fly by means of powered craft, but that The record according to the Smithsonian is held by the Wright brothers however there are newspaper records that clearly dispute these claims by reporting the prior attempts at the time but the Smithsonian has copyright on the claim but would lose the craft which is a good attraction. There was a previous recorded flight in North Africa in the 15th century but the flier perished on landing, though it was like a hang glider.
