I knew this!!! I believe there was also a New Zealander, Richard Pearce, who is eye witnessed to have flown in March 1903. Check out: http://www.nzedge.com/heroes/pearse.html

Did you know the Americans weren't even the first to build a successful

The first aircraft built that flew successfully (note my strange word

Unfortunately, it had to be rebuilt, and the first successful flight was
(iirc) 1912.
