Dr. Rogallo invented the wing itself but without a method for steering it, brilliant none the less. Mr. Dickensen added the control frame and turned the wing into a usable aircraft, also brilliant. Bill Moyes showed us what we could do with it and the rest is history. Each of these men added their DNA to the hang glider and give each other credit for their contributions. We wouldn't have what we have without all of these great men, so let's put aside the pissing match and give praise to all!

false information Dickenson is NOT the Bonafied "inventor" of hang gliding nor is he responsible for being the god-head lord high emperor of hang gliding - he was one of many whom advanced the sport in the mid 20th century - to place Dickenson on the high alter as some immortal creator of the hang gliding sport is completely wrong -
END OF LESSON - no further discussion
