The date

[edit]

Hi everybody. I think there is an error in the caption of this video in relation to the date it was shot. In 1907 the Wright brothers didn't fly at all, they were busy in pateting their Flyers I, II and III and offering the US Signal Corps and French customers to buy Flyer III specimens; actually, they had disassembled the Flyer III on November 7, 1905 and they rebuilt it no sooner than the spring of 1908. Later models (e.g. the Model A) didn't fly before August 1908 either (sources here, here and here). For some reason, but without citing any sources, en.wiki states here that this very video was shot in 1909, and according to some of the cited urls, as well as this, it is clear that the Wrights were flying the Model A in Italy in 1909. That is why I corrected the date. Is it possible to move (rename) the file to "File:Wilbur Wright onboard flight, Italy 1909.ogg"? --MLWatts (talk) 19:45, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, wait a minute! Here it is, the correct date. All right, now we're sure it is 1909. --MLWatts (talk) 19:48, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
