The book "Wings over Waitohi: the Story of Richard Pearse" by C.G. Rodliffe is written before 1997, in a time when the 1909 articles about Richard Pearse (see my previous post) had not yet been discovered by aviation historians. The book does not take into account the latest information available. It is outdated.
You have shown that you do very poor research.
Rodliffe personally interviewed the witnesses to the 1903 flights while they were still alive and cross-checked what they said to confirm the dates.
Can you please troll somewhere else.
