How many would agree the Wrights invented the airplane and invented powered flight. Many make the claim.
Those claims would be equally ignorant no matter whom they were made about.
Many humans can be pointed out as 'pioneers of flight'. The Wrights, Pearse, da Vinci, Cayley, the ancient Chinese, the Montgolfiers, Lilienthal, Langely, Chanute, etc. etc. etc.
On a professional forum like PPRuNe one would hope we can respect them all for their accomplishments and realise that they all contributed to the world of aviation today.
