Before the end of July 1908 the two inventors from Dayton did not have suitable engines for their machines and could not have flown.
Absolute nonsense.

Why is it you loons want to detract from the Wright Brothers achievements? You're not a reincarnation of simplex1 are you?

The Wright brothers just glided in 1903. They flew in 1908.

The engineering firm Bariquand et Marré in Paris produced licence built Wright engines. We hold No.14 engine in Australia, so the Paris company built at least that many Wright engines.
