No, it was a New Zealand farmer who first flew a plane for a significant distance, with lots of witnesses. It was a while before the Wright brothers at Kittyhawk.
The problem was it crashed after a few flights, and he had more important things to do when he had recovered than "tinker" in a pursuit with no future (as he saw it)
