Lewis - ('Pedant Mode' engaged), you have in mind the Wright Bros., who really did not create the first heavier-than-air aircraft (remember George Cayley [c.1810], or Otto Lilienthal [1890s] ?!).

The Wright lads accomplished [in 1903] the first sustained, controlled and powered heavier-than-air flight.

('Pedant Mode' dis-engaged!)
