060 - Who Was First to Fly? - Dead White Scientists Series

So just who was the first to fly a heavier than air craft?  And just what constitutes an "official" flight?  Was it the Wright brothers, as most Americans seem to believe?  Was it Alberto Santos- Dumont, as most of the rest of the world claims?  Or how about a German toy maker in Connecticut that may have flown two years before the Wright brothers got off the ground? Join Annie and Jay Warmke of Blue Rock Station for a discussion of dead white scientists and their continuing impact on the realities of sustainable living.
