History of aviation in Pittsburgh : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of aviation in Pittsburgh Aviation history in the Pittsburgh region is one of the richest in the world. With the first transcontinental flight, first regularly scheduled air mail service and a leading region in manufacture and innovation during both World Wars, the Pittsburgh area has much to discover about aviation's past. From Bettis Field and the Allegheny County Airport, to the modern Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), the city continues to play an important role in the industry and science of flight. ==Gustave Whitehead== According to a book and newspaper story from the 1930s, Gustave Whitehead made a very early motorized flight of about half a mile in Pittsburgh in April or May 1899.〔Stella Randolph, Harvey Phillips (1935). (A"Did Whitehead Precede Wright in World's First Powered Flight?" ) ''Popular Aviation'', quoted at GustaveWhitehead.org. Retrieved November 27, 2010.〕 Aviation experts debated the topic, and a few decided for Whitehead, while the great majority, such as Charles Harvard Gibbs-Smith, said the flights could not have occurred.
