It is time that the Australian guy who beat the Wright brothers got some attention. It is unfair that the narrative is constantly reiterated. People actually believe the Wrights were first but they were just the first to film their flight.

I’m sorry if this is off topic, but can you please make a series/playlist based off of character that appear in the “Sid Meier’s Civilization” game series? There is a ton of people on there that you have covered already and more that you have yet to. I think it would be an awesome playlist that would include a very well known game and their audience. Just to give the people who play said characters have a bit more back story on who they are playing as!

One of the great highlights of their history is the first demonstration flight in France when most people didn't believe that flight was possible. One could devote a video to that moment alone. Wilbur only flew once around the field, but it was enough to convince everyone that they were the first to fly. Soon after they were world wide heroes and celebrated every where. The history of the Wright brothers is really amazing. The books by David McCullough and others are fun to read.

On April 19, 1944, the second production Lockheed Constellation, piloted by Howard Hughes and TWA president Jack Frye, flew from Burbank, California, to Washington, D.C. in 6 hours and 57 minutes (2300 mi - 330.9 mph). On the return trip, the airliner stopped at Wright Field to give Orville Wright his last airplane flight, more than 40 years after his historic first flight.[153] He may even have briefly handled the controls. He commented that the wingspan of the Constellation was longer than the distance of his first flight.[154]

That picture at 19:52 illustrates going from the 19th century of horse and carraige to the 20th century of airplanes. The contract for the first airplane for the US Army Signal Corps (there was no Air Corps yet) was about 10 pages and signed by a captain and a brig. general. These days an aircraft contract will be so many pages, all the trees would need to be cut down for the paper. And it would need signatures from about 200 4-star generals and admirals.

great work Simon, if you want to do two real heroes i would recommend doing an episode on Sheik Ibn Batuta possibly the greatest traveler who ever lived and another episode on Alexander David Neil, a French woman who traveled to the forbidden kingdom of Tibet in the early part of the 20th century and stayed there for a number of years, even becoming a Buddhist lama there.....her books "my journey to Lhasa" and "Magic and mystery in Tibet" are well worth a read and i would consider far in advance of Henrich Harar's "Seven years in Tibet".

When and how was the Wrights' first flight? Was it the same as 2003, the year of the centenary celebrations?

Love the video! Not sure if this is the place to request/recommend but I think Orson Welles would be a good person to do a video on

Interestingly we have one of the 2 remaining wright flyers on display in Ohio. At Carillon park. The other flyer is at the Smithsonian in the air and space section, it's pretty cool that I've gotten to see both flyers in person.

Very informative as usual Simon. Could you do a Biographics on Scott of the Antarctic or Lawrence of Arabia (or both!) please.

Next I'd like to hear about Robert Goddard. He's pretty much responsible for modern space exploration.

Wait a minute... Their grandmother was the first person to step off the wagon in the place they settled which became Ohio? That is an amazing thought. That's akin to stepping on the moon. I wonder what her first thoughts were.

There were humans (natives) that already traversed the land, there was no one on the moon until the Apollo missions.

Could you do a video on William Walker? He was an American filibuster and president of Sonora and Nicuragua.
