Answering my own question here: The first real controlled flight seems to have been by Wilbur Wright, October 5, 1905: Wright Flyer III in a flight of 24 miles in 39 minutes (a world record that stood until Orville Wright broke it in 1908) and returns to land the plane at the takeoff site. :rolleyes2:
