Where Wright'S Succeeded.

Giving credit to the brothers Wright
! (Wilbur and Orville) as being the
pioneers of flight and entirely dsprov-
| ing the assertions for a similar honor
urged on behalf of Langley was the
purpOrt Of lecture given by Griffith
Brewer, the well known aeronautical
expert, at recent meeting of the Brit
lsh AerOnautical Society.
From the evidence | have gath
cred" said Mr. Brewer, II submit the
following two facts are entirely PROV
en-:
(a The Langley machine was not
capable of sustained free flight.
OBJ 1t was not successfully flown at
Hommandsport, New York, on June
2, 1914.
The Smithsonian Institution has all
ways attributed the failure of the
Langley machine to the faiulre in the
launching apparatus, and it has hlth-
erto been generally accepted that the
machine was wrecked without having
had fair opportunity to prove wheth-
er it was capable of flight
at is therefore easy to understand
that since the Wrights, who had been
working ON the same problem, sue
cceded whore Langley failed, Lang
ley's friends eagerly welcomed the
suggestion made ten years later that
1t might be possible to prove that
Langleys machine was capable of
flight.
Langley and the Wrghts had been
working cOncurrently hundreds of
miles apart and both had approached
the final stage of their Independent
experiments at the same time.
Langley tested his machine a few
weeks before the Wrights. But his at
tempt to fly failed, The Wrights one
week after the failure tried their ma
chine and succeeded. Was it, them
one asks, merely a mishap which rob-
first to fly, or did he fail because the
machine he had built was not capable
of flight ."
"Br. Brewer averred that the re-
port and inscription of the Langley ma
chine now In the United States Nation
al Museum which says that it was
flown at Hammordsport on June 2,
1914, is misleading and untrue. The
machine was only put through so

each test. The Smithsonian lnstitu-
