New Zealand pioneer aviator Richard Pearse is credited often with the first powered flight at Waitohi (New Zealand), on the 31st of March in 1903 (9 months before the Wright Brothers).
The Wright Brothers had controlled powered flight more successfully and better publicity.
What if Richard Pearse had gained greater publicity for his flight, and been given some funding to improve on his designs? (which were advanced for the time)
