If you include lighter-than-air craft in your list (you should!) then the Montgolfier Brothers and their flight take and set precedence over everyone and everything! 1783.
If you are only interested in heavier-than-air machines then Sir George Cayley's Gliders were the first to carry a human aloft, first a boy then a man. He also laid down the basic principals of aerodynamics, setting a VERY important precedent! How can you exclude the first heavier than air flying machines?! 1843-1853 approx.
If you are only interested in powered heavier-than-air machines there is substantial evidence that some powered but not necessarily "sustained" or "controlled" flights DID occur before the Wrights, Ader being a good candidate.
Why the Me 262 rather than the Heinkel He 178 which is generally accepted as the first jet to fly? If you list it because it was the first jet fighter into service, then surely you should include the first jet bomber into service, the first jet helicopter and the first jet airliner into service, and I am incredulous that you have not included the Comet! Yes it had problems but it was still the first into service. The DC10 had problems, does that mean it's not a wide body?!
Moreover, the Comet had Reduxed windows and without this process (invented by Norman de Bruyn at Duxford) then jet airliners would have been incomplete and little use!
