SANTOS DUMONT AND THE WRIGHT BROTHERS

SANTOS DUMONT WAS THE FIRST MAN TO FLY IN A MACHINE HEAVIER THAN AIR. 

SOME TRY TO DENY HIM THIS HONOR SAYING THAT THE WRIGHT BROTHERS WERE THE FIRST TO DO SO. 

BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE. 

EVEN IF THE WRIGHT BROTHERS HAD FLOWN BEFORE SANTOS DUMONT, WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN IN ANY CASE, THE WRIGHT BROTHERS STARTED TO FLY BEING THROWN BY A CATAPULT, WHEREAS SANTOS DUMONT TOOK OFF FROM THE GROUND.

 

QUESTIONS:

1-WHO WAS THE FIRST MAN TO FLY IN A MACHINE HEAVIER THAN AIR?

2-DO SOME TRY TO DENY HIM THIS HONOR?

3-BY SAYING WHAT?

4-IS THIS TRUE?

5-HOW DID THE WRIGHT BROTHERS START TO FLY?

6-AND SANTOS DUMONT?
