Also in the same, rather short, wikipedia article, one can read of the furious patent dispute (on the mechanism to steer the planes, not on lift, by the way), of the disrepute that befell the brothers because of their perceived greed, and of the refusal (for 40 years! ) of the Smithsonian to recognize their precedence because another contender to the claim of first to fly had been a director there.
As it is to be expected, if you live in the same world as I do, even after their discovery was accepted as irrefutable fact (I am sure for some that only happened when they themselves flew), their role was not. Draw your own conclusions. To the hard-core skeptics, two questions: - did man actually set foot on the moon? Compare and contrast level of proof. - how is Rossi trying to make money out of his wonderful, long, elaborate, hollywoodian scam? I already wrote a detailed post on that and got no reaction.
