We had flight before airplanes! Why do people just ignore lighter than air travel lmao. Yes, planes are more impressive, but it wasn't like BAM plane BAM rockets.

I don't consider anything true aviation before the squirrel suit.

Honestly the first aviation was a human jumping. It didn't happen until about 3000 BCE. Much later than you'd think. Until then we always kept one foot on the ground. Those ancient humans that did persistence hunting? Yeah, turns out it was technically power walking.
