"Simplex" says (emphasis added) - As long as the Wright brothers preferred their planes to be shown in newspapers with a propeller underneath and kept all the alleged 1903-1905 pictures for themselves and only after Aug. 8, 1908 started to show them, those hundreds of photos have little historical value.
You should alert the United States Library of Congress as they have the original glass-plate negatives. They'll be so disappointed to hear this.

If only the Wright brothers had know of Simplex1's rules.
