Wright brothers had only 5 witnesses to their early accomplishment because it was not a public event.
Description
The Wrights' press release sent out the following month was largely ignored. Many people just didn't believe it, though there were five witnesses to their first flights. A report did appear in the March 1904 issue of Popular Science Monthly, but the first report of a firsthand sighting of the Wrights' plane was in the January 1905 issue of Gleanings in Bee Culture.
