This is an interesting question for all the history buffs, “Who are the first to fly?” Gustav Whitehead or Orville and Wilbur? Everyone would want to have their family name on an important part of history but I hope this new picture from Jim Brown settles it. My question woud be, “Is there a monetary reward for the families of the individuals that made history?”
