Hrm... what's up with "slide #4", which is captioned: "The first airplane flight in history.  Orville Wright flew for 9 minutes and 34 seconds in 1911."

This picture is of Orville on a flight in 1911, but notice - no motors ?  This picture shows their glider, which they had returned to NC in 1910-1911 for testing, to try to commercialize.
(Source: https://www.nps.gov/articles/wright-brothers.htm   - scroll down near the bottom of the long page).

The first powered airplane flight (and that has come under debate) occurred  on Dec. 17, 1903 at Kitty Hawk, NC, some 8 years before this picture was taken.

This can take some looking around in each photo.
