What did this extensive practice and experience teach them? They learned how to control an aircraft in the air: They could make it go up and down (pitch), make it turn from right to left (yaw), and best of all, how to bank into a turn (roll), just like a racing bicycle would do! The NASA website says of the 1902 experience, “For the first time in history, a craft could be controlled in three dimensions.”

Therefore, all previous claims of “I flew before the Wright brothers” are meaningless. Although the Wrights didn’t claim to be the first to fly, they were the first to control an airplane in flight in a heavier-than-air machine operated by a pilot, turning and landing the machine exactly as they wished. No previous claim could match that.
