Hi Rod!

Outlook problems persists! PC was again poisened today with
more than 9.000 porn coockies + trj virus..etc...
Two coockies cannot be deleted inspite my anti-virus and Rootweb Spyware Sweeper!Although I did yesterday several antivirus ,adware and spywarecontrolls with!

What goes on now A. L. Stevens...Is indeed mentioned as "has constructed 1900 a motor-driven navigable airship and that Dr. August Greth made a succesfull airship flight on October 18, 1903"
(source : St-Louis City of Flight)

The Jane's Airships book n°7, mentions for for A.L. Stevens the year 1903 at Coney Island...

Could be it was indeed Stevens who made the first motorised flight!
But photos and confirmation further?

1863 I have a page on Shaw with a motorised balloon...but was it ever constructed and made it ever a flight? Probably steam or compressed air or such powered?

There were several man powered engines as well and the one I thought at in first instance was the pedal bicycle driven on propellered airship from Ritchell (1878) It's proven he made flights with! But by windstill time than!
