This work is preliminary and incomplete.

Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to establish a set of quantitative
historical facts and their sources about the invention of the airplane
and the rise of aircraft-related organizations and industries. This will
support the study and analytical modeling of how an invention comes
about and leads to a new industry. The facts as presented here will
have errors, omissions, and ambiguities, which can be corrected,
improved, and clarified over time.

Notes on Sikorsky from SY: In 1899 at the age of 10, built a spring-driven model of a helicopter. In 1909, his sister Olga Sikorsky funded his purchase
in France of an Anzani 25-horsepower engine, the same engine used by Bleriot in his epic flight across the English channel in July of that
year. Imperial Grand Duke Alexander in 1910 encouraged founding of Imperial All-Russian Aero Club (which lasted until 1917). In 1911
Sikorsky earned pilot's license No. 64. In 1910, after two unsuccessful attempts to build a helicopter, Sikorsky launched his "S" series
of monoplanes and biplanes. The S-1 with modest 15-hp engine, did not fly but served as test bed for perfecting control during high-speed
ground runs. Breakthrough came
in the spring 1911 with the flyable S-5, powered by Argus 50-hp engine. He made short cross-country flights at altitudes of up to 1500 feet.
In 1912 moved to St. Petersburg to head new aviation factory of Russo-Baltic Wagon Company.
pring-driven model of a helicopter.
Between early May 1909 and mid-December 1910, Sikorsky constructed a helicopter with the 25-h.p. engine that failed to fly;
two air-driven sleighs that glided on snow; a helicopter
powered with a new 25-h.p. Anzani engine that lifted but could not carry the weight of an operator; the S-1 pusher biplane
that lifted but whose 15 h.p. Anzani motor did not provide enough power for it to fly; the S-2 pusher biplane powered by the
second 25 h.p. Anzani motor, which made several flights of under 60 seconds each, but eventually was destroyed in a crash landing;
and the S-3, powered by a 40-h.p. Anzani engine, whose career consisted of 13 flights and about seven minutes of air time in a little
over a week before being damaged in a hard landing. In April 1911, tests began on both the S-4, which was an improvement on the S-3,
and the S-5, which had a 50-h.p. water-cooled Argus motor, a larger wing area, and different control arrangements. On 17 May 1911,
Sikorsky flew the S-5 for about four minutes on a pre-determined course, returning close to the point of departure, and by mid-summer
he was able to stay in the air for a half hour at 1,000 feet of altitutde. He then went on to build the S-6 that, disassembled and
rebuilt, became the S-6-A, which by early 1912, at a speed of 113 km. per hour (about 70 miles per hour), had exceeded the world record
of speed for a plane with a pilot and two passengers. In February

1912, the S-6-A received the highest award in the Moscow aircraft exhibition. Meanwhile, in the fall of 1911, he earned F.A.I. pilot
license No. 64 from the Imperial All-Russian Aero Club, which had been founded in 1910 by The Imperial Grand Duke Alexander. (Note:
the Aero Club lasted until 1917). In the spring of 1912, Sikorsky sold his design rights on the S-6-A and all other designs and
inventions in aviation that he had or would have in the next five years to come to the Russian-Baltic Railroad Car Factory and
accepted a position with them as designer and chief engineer of an aircraft subsidiary that he would establish in St. Petersburg.
Additional Note 1: While known later in the United States as a builder of helicopters, Sikorsky built no helicopters in the period
between 1910 and 1939, when his U.S. factory produced its first helicopter. Additional Note 2: IS10. Before the 1917 Revolution,
Russia followed the Julian calendar, which in the 20th Century, was 13 days behind the Gregorian or Western calendar. Dates in IS
have been converted to the Gregorian calendar. It would appear from one instance in 1913 when a date in WS was 13 days earlier than
a date in IS, that for exact dates above, WS used Gregorian dates.Codes for sources specific to Sikorsky:[[IS]] = K.N. Finne, ''Igor
Sikorsky,the Russian Years;'' translated and adapted by Von Hardesty; Carl J. Bobrow and Von Hardesty, eds., Washington, D.C.:

Appendix D. Patents before 1907
The German patents are from http://www.lilienthal-museum.de/olma/pat_ar.htm. Wow!! Thank you! I took the ones up to
1907. Some may not be relevant but are by relevant inventors.

British patents can be entered from Aeronautics: an abridgement of aeronautical specifications filed at the Patent Office from
A.D. 1815 to A.D. 1891 by Griffith Brewer and Patrick Y. Alexander, London, 1893, which was reprinted by Boekhandel en
Antiquariaat, B. M. Israel, N.V., 1965.

Appendix E. References to individuals in Chanute’s 1894 Progress in Flying
Machines
This comes from going over Chanute’s text to complete and update the index. These are counts of pages which
refer to these individuals, or in a few cases when no individual is identified, to experiments or experimental craft.
It excludes individuals referred to on only one page.

Notes:
 On Lilienthal: This book includes a 15-page article by Lilienthal, which I counted as 15 page-citations. Most of
Lilienthal's famous flights on hang gliders were yet to come.
 On Harvgrave: his most famous experiment (went airborne, hanging from a string of box kites) was yet to
come
 On Moy: the count includes 5 pages of own article which was included in this book
 Langley had not yet built model aircraft at this time.
 I could not think of a way to count references to the author effectively, so his own work and contribution are in
essence undercounted.

 Appendix F. Counts of letters among these innovators
Chanute maintained intense correspondence with many aeronautical innovators, notably
the Wright brothers both before and after their major inventions. He visited with Langley,
Santos-Dumont, Ferber, Huffaker, Herring, Maxim and others. He corresponded by letter with
Hargrave, Mouillard, Montgomery, Cabot, Zahm, Kress, Wenham, Moy, Pilcher, Means, the
Lilienthals, and the Wrights. These letters almost always referred to experiments,
experimenters, or related technical subjects. Here are counts of his exchanges with the Wright
brothers.

Schwipps (1985) has collected and discussed selected correspondence by the Lilienthal
brothers, from which we can construct a Lilienthal-centric view of network interactions. In this
book, the name Octave Chanute appears on 49 pages, James Means on 35, Augustus Herring on
29, Samuel Langley on 24, Gustav Lilienthal on 16, Robert W. Wood on 15, Karl Muellenhoff on
11, Carl Diestbach on 10, Samuel Cabot on 9, and Hiram Maxim on 8. Otto Lilienthal never knew
the Wrights, who began experimentation after his death, but their names appear too, for example
because they sent $1000 to his widow in thanks for his great achievements.

Appendix H. Authors in Brockett’s aeronautics
bibliography up to 1910
From Brockett(1910).

13487 pulblications before 1910 are numbered. Thousands more are listed but
not numbered; I haven’t identified how many of these are duplicates published in
two places at once.

I’m making a database of these and will be able to summarize quantitatively who
the most frequently published authors were, and how many publications a year
are listed, and what countries they were from, and whether they referred to kites
or balloons in their titles, and so forth.
Appendix I. What the Wrights had read before 1903
Wilbur Wright wrote ths Smithsonian Insitution for background materials on fixed-
wing aircraft flight in 1899, and received lots of information. It seems likely when
viewing the story holistically that the Wrights read pretty much all of it.

The Smithsonian officer’s reply (what’s his name again? Tyndale?)

Offered these referenes, according to Head (p.41):

Octave Chanute’s Progress in Flying Machines

Samuel Langley’s Experiments in Aerodynamics.
Aeronautical Annuals of 1895, 1896, and 1897 edited by James Means.

They included pamphlets which reprinted material from their annual reports:
Louis Mouillard’s Empire of the Air
Langley’s Story of Experiments in Mechanical Flight
Lilienthal’s paper The Problem of Flying and Pratical Experimens in Soaring.
(by Otto? In English?)
Appendix J. Education levels of the experimenters and
authors
 Wilbur Wright, Orville Wright, and Glenn Curtiss had not been to college
(Head, circa p. 43)
 Langley and Alexander Graham Bell had PhDs.
Appendix K. Aeronautical clubs
Main sources:
 The 1920 Directory, (Dir1920) pp 181-191 has a list of Aero clubs and societies as of 1920
 The Flying Book, 1914 (FB14) has such as list for 1914 on pp 21-25
 Web sites of continuing organizations
