	WRCS - CENTENARY OF POWERED SUSTAINED CONTROLLED FLIGHT?
		He claims to have been with Whitehead frequently from 1901 to 1910 and he claims that at no time did Whitehead ever say that he had flown, even though he is known to have built several machines after the date on which he was supposed to have flown.
		Orville quoted Beach, as have all other Whitehead detractors since but in any case Orville insisted that total credit for the first powered sustained controlled flight was given to himself and his brother in a secret agreement made with the Smithsonian Institution whereby the Wright Flyer of 1903 was provided for display.
		Whitehead also exhibited the 2-cylinder steam engine which revolved the road wheels of his former bat machine, with which he made a number of short flights in 1901." Yet in 1939, Beach (conveniently?) fails to recall that clear credit.

		Further back still, on August 14 1901, Gustave Albin Whitehead took his first flight in Connecticut when he flew his aircraft the 'Number 21' three times, as reported by the Bridgeport Herald, the New York Herald and the Boston Transcript.
		The longest flight was 2.5km (1.5 miles) at a height of up to 60m (200ft): significantly better than the Wright brothers two years and four months later.

		Tom Crouch likens the Whitehead debate to the never-ending "arguments over the authorship of the Shakespeare plays." With something as important as the first sustained, controlled, and powered flight of a heavier-than-air craft in human history, how could it be otherwise?
