Cub,

"Little did Orville Wright realize that his achievement would lead in
less than half a century to the incinceration of Hiroshima by an
American bomb..."


Which would be at least half-wrong. The Wrights did see the military
potential in their achievement. In fact, they thought it would end all
wars since it would make it so easy to directly attack/bomb the heads
of state initiating the war - and thus really hitting the people
responsible for it. Didn't work out that way.
