No. They published in the J. Western Society of Engineers, which was a top-notch journal. They published two papers: Wilbur Wright, Some Aeronautical Experiments, Sept. 18, 1901 http://invention.psychology.msstate.edu/i/Wrights/library/Aeronautical.html (This is really good. You should read it.) Wilbur Wright, Recent Experiments in Gliding Flight, November 1903 The Scientific American and many other mainstream publications did reject the claims. The article in Gleanings in Bee Culture was written by the publisher of that journal, A. I. Root, who was a remarkable individual. That article is here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wright/reporter.html That journal is still being published. The title has changed but it has been published continuously: http://www.beeculture.com/ - Jed
