It is stated that claims made by Australian publicists on Hargrave's behalf are based on inadequate knowledge both of aeronautical history and of Hargrave's own work; Hargrave did not "invent airplane" and did not make first heavier-than-air apparatus to fly; that distinction belongs to STRINGFELLOW; he did not discover principles of heavier-than-air flight, for which credit is accorded to George CAYLEY. From Australian Quarterly Mar 1940.
