Not all the pictures in newspapers show the Wrights' plane with a propeller underneath. There are examples (see the photo in Washington Times) when the plane appears quite similar to what the two brothers showed starting with Aug. 1908. However the plane in Washington Times does not correspond, if we analyze its details with care, to any of the 1903, 1904, 1905, or later, models.
Which means what ??
It is a newspaper article,written by somebody who knows nothing about flying and with an 'artistic' picture LOL
Personally I am very bored with this now Simplex,your posts are bizarre to say the least...where are you going with this ??
