Whitehead

I have two questions relating to Gustave Whitehead being the first to fly.

#1. What happened to Number 22?

#2. If it were true that he flew in 1901, did Whitehead submit a bid to the December 23, 1907 US Gov't Board of Ordnance and Fortification solicitation for a flying machine? Why not?
