Unfort my claims that the first manned flight was actually by a New Zealander, Richard Pearse on 31st March 1903 from Waitohi Flat Temuka some nine months before the Wright brothers belatedly got in on the act, may have been trumped by French claims of the first flight.
Apparently Clement Ader on 9th October 1890 took to the air on board the Eole for something of an uncontrolled flight.
This one may need further research .....
