I think newswatcher is referring to the original hand-propelled boomerang, although both are noteworthy.

Don't overlook Sir Gordon Taylor. Not only was he a noted pilot and navigator (and a very brave man) but he also left us a rich legacy of aviation books.

Double Asymmetric

Lay off the CA-15. Some of us regard the CA-15 with the same degree of reverence that the Brits regard the TSR-2 and the Canucks the Avro Arrow. Your other examples are probably fair game though.
