THE WRIGHT BROTHERS GROUNDED AT LAST!!

---

The stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel (Isaiah 8:8).

Bothe of the "Wrong Brothers" were spies for the British Secret Service.

Octave Chanute was the son of Joseph Chanute, professor at the Collège de France, and emigrated with his father to the United States of America in 1838, when the former was named Vice-President at Jefferson College in Louisiana. Octave attended private schools in New York.

Samuel Pierpont Langley was an American astronomer, physicist, inventor of the bolometer and pioneer of aviation.

Octave Chanute (1832–1910).

Octave Chanute and Samuel Langley were the pioneers of U.S. aviation. French-born Octave was the John Charles Frémont of the U.S. skies. Samuel Langley was the co-inventor of the U.S. airplane. Samuel means "His name is EL."

Samuel Langley (1834–1906).

Octave Chanute was widely considered brilliant and innovative in the engineering profession. During his career he designed and constructed the United States' two biggest stock yards, Chicago Stock Yards (1865) and Kansas City Stockyards (1871). He designed and built the Hannibal Bridge which was the first bridge to cross the Missouri River in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1869 and established Kansas City as the dominant city in the region. He designed many other bridges during his railroad career, including the Illinois River rail bridge at Peoria, Illinois, the Genesee River Gorge rail bridge near Portageville, New York (now in Letchworth State Park), the bridge across the Missouri River at Sibley, Missouri, across the Mississippi River at Fort Madison, Iowa, and the Kinzua Bridge in Pennsylvania.

The "Wrong brothers" just plagiarized the work of these 2 brilliant aeronautical engineers. Unfortunately, Samuel Langley worked for the Smithsonian Institution, which is British owned and controlled. In October 1903, he tested his catapult launched flying machine, called the aerodrome, on the Potomac River.

Langley's aerodrome was a viable flying machine by Oct, 1903.

The airplane was perfectly capable of manned flight but the catapult system was sabotaged. It crashed moments after takeoff but the pilot survived. The British owned Washington Post and the New York Times ridiculed him mercilessly and called him a "birdbrain."

A Congressman named Robinson said "that the only thing he ever made fly was government money." The abuse heaped on his head by the press and members of Congress was enough to make him give up his attempts at manned flight. The professor had a timely demise just 7 years later. Subsequent trials showed that the aerodrome was quite capable of manned flight.

The 2 British Secret Service agents turned aeronautical engineers!!

The Wright Brothers were 2 "bicycle shop mechanics" turned aeronautical engineers. They are credited with inventing and building the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight. The brothers were called the "Bishop's Boys" because their father was a "Bishop" in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. He never read the verse in Genesis that says that "spies are despicable" (Genesis 42:31).

Orville Wright (1871–1948).

The "Bishop's Boys" were 2 British Secret Service agents licensed to ground U.S. and French airplanes. They were as phony as "Discoverer" Christopher Columbus and "inventor" Thomas Edison. Unless you are a born genius like Nikola Tesla, invention takes years and years of trial and error.

Wilbur Wright (1867–1912).

The Wright brothers reported to 2 men in London: Baden Fletcher Smyth Baden-Powell and Patrick Young Alexander. Baden-Baden Powell was "Mr. British Empire" personified and he was the brother of the Boer War Colonel Robert Baden-Powel–founder of the Boy Scouts Movement. He was extremely interested in developing the airplane as an instrument of war for expanding the British Empire.

Baden-Baden Powell (1860–1937).

Baden-Baden Powell was a British officer in the Boer War and he realized the military implications of the airplane. He was determined to keep French avation grounded at all costs. In 1902, he dispatched his spy, Patrick Alexander, to Dayton, Ohio, to give the 2 "bicycle shop mechanics" their marching orders!!

Patrick Alexander (1867–1943).

Here is an excerpt from an address given by Major Baden-Baden Powell to the British Aeronautical Society on December 4, 1902:

In his address Major Baden-Powell, speaking as a professional soldier, also offered the company his opinion of what the future might hold when a "practical flying machine" was developed at last. He said: "One can scarcely imagine any invention which could have a greater effect on the conduct of warfare ..."
In the audience on that December evening was a curious and remarkable man. His name was Patrick Y. Alexander, a prominent member of the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain. Patrick Alexander made it his business to investigate personally the latest developments in aeronautics wherever they took place, in any part of the world.
He was so interested by what Major Baden-Powell said about the Wright brothers that he left London, almost upon the instant, and travelled to Dayton, Ohio, in order to interview Wilbur and Orville Wright about their experiments. Such was Alexander's ardour and keenness in the matter that he actually called upon the Wrights in their home in Dayton during a family holiday on Christmas Eve, 1902, only three weeks and one day after Baden-Powell had spoken of their latest achievements in his Presidential Address to the Aeronautical Society in London.
As a result of this singular initiative Alexander was now able to tell his friends in the British Army what the Wright brothers had actually accomplished, and what they planned for the future. (Golin, No Longer An Island, pp. 26-27).

Patrick Alexander was the Samuel Insull of the U.S. aviation industry.

In December 1903, the Wright brothers brought their disassembled "airplane" and a catapult from their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, to Kitty Hawk in North Carolina.

From Dayton, Ohio, to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina is a distance of about 680 miles (1,090 km). A "real plane" would have flown in Ohio, saving them the long arduous trip. The "plane" was just a glider plagiarized from Chanute and Langley.

Before setting out, the brothers consulted the U.S. Weather Bureau about the area's steady winds and they found out that it was the perfect location for gliding....They also valued the privacy provided by the location, which in the early twentieth century was remote from major population centers.

On January 3, 1910, one week before the air meet was to begin, federal district court judge John R. Hazel granted the Wright Company's request for an injunction enjoining the Herring-Curtiss corporation and Glenn Curtiss and Augustus Herring personally from manufacturing, selling, or flying airplanes for profit. Hazel, with no training in aerodynamics, nonetheless went into great detail in an opinion that accepted every assertion of the Wrights and none of Curtiss and concluded that it was "not improbable they may succeed at final hearing, and therefore a preliminary injunction be granted." Harry Toulmin wrote to Wilbur and Orville, "You have much to be thankful for ... his opinion follows our brief in reasoning and conclusions; much of it adopts our language." Although the writ was aimed only at one competitor, as the Wright Company had announced that every airplane currently in use infringed on their patent, similar orders were soon to follow. (Goldstone, Birdmen: The Wright Brothers, Glenn Curtis, and the Battle to Control the Spies, p. 181).

The preliminary injunctions issued by Judges Hazel and Hand gave the Wright brothers an effective monopoly in the flying-machine business in America for the first six months of 1910. Even when the restraints were removed in June of that year, the Wright patent suits continued to threaten American pilots and aircraft builders. Having forced the Herring-Curtiss Company out of business and placed Glenn Curtiss and other competing aviators in legal jeopardy, the Wrights, through their foreign licensees, launched a direct attack on their European competitors.
Late in 1910, the Compagnie Générale de Navigation Aérienne brought suit against six rival aircraft manufacturers (Blériot, Farman, Esnault-Pelterie, Clément-Bayard, Antoinette, and Santos-Dumont) for infringement on the Wrights' French patents. The case was tried before the Third Civil Tribunal, composed of three judges and a substitute, a state's attorney boasting special technical qualifications.
