Zahm (USA), 1913 • The aeroplane is a British invention: it was conceived in all essentials by George Cayley, the great English engineer who worked in the first half of the last century” Charles Dollfus (France), 1923 • “Sir George Cayley, the real inventor of the aeroplane” Charles Dollfus and Henry Bouché (France), 1932
