Local paper blamed as public booster and scapegoat

Orville Wright announced the original Wright aeroplane would go to the Times Museum in South Kensington, England, citing lack of trust in the Smithsonian. He argued the relic belongs in America, where its sentimental value and national pride are strongest, while denying Langley’s plane is the true artifact. The Smithsonian denies the charges, and the dispute could center on who truly invented the aeroplane.
