Say Neil, you have any specifics?  How close did he come?  What sort of
technology was he using (biplane/monoplane, propeller shape, etc.?)

There are many sites - here is one to start at:-

Many sites claim he was the first man to fly a heavier than air craft but I
am not sure that can be conclusively proven yet. There was someone in Canada
as well IIRC. The Wrights were careful to document their achievements.
