# Gustave Whitehead

> Gustave Albin Whitehead was a German–American aviation pioneer. Between 1897 and 1915, he designed and built gliders, flying machines, and engines. Controversy surrounds published accounts and Whitehead's own claims that he flew a powered machine successfully several times in 1901 and 1902, predating the first flights by the Wright brothers in 1903.

*Possible first powered manned flight (1874–1927)*
