Bridgeport is where Whitehead first flew. If he flew.
Leave us note in passing P.T. Barnum also hailed from Bridgeport and there was one born every minute.

Let us also not forget where the fucking flight actually took place. And this from an Ohio kid who attended Wilbur Wright Jr. High.

I grew up in NC and still consider it my home, so naturally I have never heard of this Gustave Whitehead asshole before in my life.

It's all silly anyway, it's like with television. Was Philo Farnsworth the person who invented television? No, but he's the one that got the whole industry off the ground.
For all we know, some drunk a-hole in the 16th century with a hand crank and da Vinci's flying machine invented powered flight. The Wright Brothers were the ones that made powered flight viable and popular, so they win.

Look, there's nothing to do in Ohio but drink and watch sports, OK?
