The Photo Matter...

Yes, I was the one who spotted what that blurry was almost certainly of, and where and when it was taken.

I've posted two articles about this...

GUSTAVE WHITEHEAD - What Did He Do ?

The editor of Jane's was seriously mislead.

I agree that all those who busied themselves during the Pioneer and Exhibition Eras deserve our appreciation, even if for nothing more than their dedication to human flight. Many people devoted their lives to this puzzle, and that's certainly worthy of notice and remembrance, even if they didn't come up with a solution.

I suppose most people on this forum know that the owner and publisher of Jane's issued a statement in April 2015 putting the full responsibility for that March 2013 editorial supporting Whitehead on the shoulders of Jane's editor. You can read about that here...
