Yes.


You appear pretty sure about that. What do you base it on?

There were only four flights on December 17, 1903. The Flyer received minor
damage on the fourth flight. They were discussing repairs prior to a
possible fifth flight when a gust of wind picked up the Flyer and rolled it
into a ball.
