"Orville and Wilbur Wright are generally credited with being the first in flight. Whether that's true depends on your definition of "flight". If you mean controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, then that's what they are known for, but even that may not be quite true, since controlled and sustained are not black-or-white terms. There were plenty of aviation pioneers working on flying in the nineteenth century; after all, we had automobiles and balloons and gliders already, many figured it shouldn't be too difficult to combine them. And there were some substantial cash rewards up for grabs around the turn of the century."

Agreed. That is just our claim to fame. We have a nice museum celebrating their achievements as well as the National Museum of the Airforce.

Another Brit here. Born in Hertfordshire but moved to the Suffolk coast about 25 years ago. I can see the sea from my house but wouldn't swim in it if you paid me!
