Abstract:

Reporters and editors alike were skeptical of the accomplishment of flight achieved by the Wright brothers in 1903 and 1908; many even refused to verify the rumors of the flights. Accounts of the feat were ignored until A.W. Drinkwater sent out his article on the 1908 flights, which finally convinced the world.
