	<htmltext>The Wright brothers had 5 major innovations that set them apart:

1. A propellor design that was 90\% efficient rather than 50\%
2. Wing warping for roll control
3. Rudder attached to the wing warping for controlled turns, solving the adverse yaw problem
4. Innovative balance in the wind tunnel, used the wind tunnel to design the airfoil, as all existing data proved to be wrong by a factor of 2
5. Lightweight gasoline engine

The Wrights also engaged in an organized, step-by-step method of development, and carefully documented each step. Modern aircraft design can be traced directly back to the Flyer, and no other claimants.

This is all in stark contrast to other claimants to first flight.</htmltext>

<sentencetext>Alcock and Brown flew from Newfoundland to Ireland in 1919.
According to the specs from "The Daily Mail", "the aviator who shall first cross the Atlantic in an aeroplane in flight from any point in the United States of America, Canada or Newfoundland and any point in Great Britain or Ireland" in 72 continuous hours" would win the ten thousand pound prize.Alcock and Brown did it non-stop.
But a couple of weeks earlier an American airplane, the NC-4, was the first to cross the Atlantic under its own power.
It took 19 days and multiple stops to do it though.The Orteig Prize, the one Lindbergh won, required a non-stop flight from New York to Paris (Or vice versa).
This was a longer flight than the Alcock-Brown flight, which landed in a bog in Ireland.
Lindbergh had a lot more publicity for his landing since he landed at an airport.
Some sources say that 150,000 spectators stormed the airfield where Lindbergh landed.If you think about it, having the 'right' publicity can make a big difference in the history books.
You could say that's why Columbus gets the credit for 'discovering' America as opposed to the Vikings, St. Brendan, or the original immigrants heading over the Bering Strait.</sentencetext>

	<htmltext>I have a funny feeling this "Antarctic's First Plane" thing started when an American dared point out that the first plane to fly in Antarctica was the "Stars and Stripes" (built by the legendary <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman\_Fairchild" title="wikipedia.org" rel="nofollow">Sherman Farchild</a> [wikipedia.org], and one of his pioneering aerial surveys). Then, as is always the case when an American dares claim a "first" in anything, hundreds of Europeans, Canadians, Australians, etc. with inferiority complexes immediately rushed out and found an obscure case of someone *shipping* a plane to Antarctica before this (which never actually flew), so they could once again show those big-shot Americans that their dicks were bigger.</htmltext>
