A lot of back stories on inventors.
Alexander Grahm Bell tried to discredit the Wright Brothers, and backed another aviator. (who died)
The Wright brothers themselves screwed over aviation by claiming to own the patent on every airplane. It's why Germany and Europe was so far ahead of the US in 1915 in aviation. We still had Wright flyers and they had Biplanes.
History is condensed, and those who brought great things, it's seen as better not to sully their contributions with what they did after.

I just watched that american genius. The wright bros' litigious ways really fricked everybody. Curtiss was making all kinds of cool shite trying to avoid the patents though so at least there was that.
