Josh & Emma do the other pioneers of aviation deserve any credit about the invention of an airplane or it was just the Wrights the inventors. Do you know Voisin

Bleriot, Dumont or you just know a lot about the Wrights only.

@Verdelufe - um... she was SEVEN YEARS OLD when she did this report... a little slack perhaps?

I had no idea there was so much passion about this topic, thanks everyone for respectfully sharing views. Clearly more kids need to post vids of Brazilian, Romanian, French, New Zealand, etc stories of the birth of aviation.

It's funny, now she is a "big" 12-year old, and recently we watched this video together. I hope she'll decide to make another one soon, maybe about saving the orangutans.

By the way, why did she do this report?

[joshfreedman]

It was for fun! She had a class assignment to learn about an inventor, she was telling her mom & me about her project and we asked if she'd like to try making a video....

:)

here parents made this video and the voice over for her

[joshfreedman]

FYI -- Emma did the research, collected pictures, wrote the outline, and decided which clips to use. Her mom & I found most of the video footage and I did the actual editing with Emma directing everything I did. As we edited she told me what was important and I helped her focus her script. I knew almost nothing about this topic before she taught me!

I only am responding because it's important for more adults (and kids!) to realize that children can do excellent, high quality work.

@joshfreedman I am sure she continues a very sweet girl at 12,it is too bad some people twisted the

truth about aviation which was the contribtion of many pioneers from different nationalities,everyone is trying to single out one pioneer because of national pride. Now about trying to save the apes in extintion, no country will claim they save the apes,everybody will try without ask for credit.Just look the depth of look on a apes eyes we call tell the saviors will not lie.

@joshfreedman I feel sorry for Emma she has been brainwashed like most americans.

The Replicas of 1903 never flew, NONE, here at your video NOTHING. Take a look at Dumont's Replicas code iAARzqCgBtw. They ALL flew. I know you do not like that. Another thing you will not like is to find out that the Core of engineers who put the man on the moon was the 55 rockets engineers of Hitler, Von Brown and his team. The american media is very powerful and can forge history.
