I was disappointed in the episode about the Wright brothers. I thought this was actually factual history. Gustave Whitehead was the first successful aviator, which sparked a government sponsored push to get the Wright Flyer off the ground, including the press coverage. The govt's need to give American born credit for the first in flight as opposed to the American immigrant who actually took to the sky first, is the only reason people believe the Wright brothers were first in flight.
