Yeah, it was really a Scotsman who would have been first in flight. He would have, nah nah nah. He was working on heavier than air flight before the Wright Brothers. But he died. Darn.

Today is the anniversary of the Wright Brothers flight. Some people just can't give credit to the Yanks where credit is due.

And but for a tragic accident, Percy Pilcher would have beaten the American brothers to the record - and Cardross would have replaced Kitty Hawk in aviation history.

Well, he MAY have, but you can't really say he WOULD have because he uh, DIED. In a GLIDER accident.
