No argument there. I only have two points:

1. Everything but the 1st successful sustained flight took place in Dayton.
2. Having the 1st flight take place in NC doesn't say much about NC other than the outer banks have some good wind and friend people.

Werner von Braün studied and did early tests of recket science (yes,
this is rocket science!) at Germany. Nevertheless, his first bird to
reach The Space and The Moon, took place in the Good Ole US of A.

Isaac Asimoc was born in Russia. Nevertheless, he is regarded as a great
American Science-fiction writer.


Those individuals later moved and actually lived in the US. The Wright brothers spent only about 3 months actually in NC.
