Having spent this afternoon googling early attempts at flight and having looked at many insane yet entertaining photos/sketches I wondered if any one of these early attempts had any genuine credibility?

From suicidal gliders (not genuine flight) to crazy Ornithopters and steam powered delusions many early attempts whilst vital to the evolution of eventual flight were indeed doomed to spectacular failure.

With a POD at any point in history can anyone envisage and provide a logical sequence of events that could provide us with an earlier invention of true flight?
