While neither the first reaction powered aircraft, nor combustion turbined aircraft to fly, Whittle's Gloster jet flew for the first time today, about a month after Heinkel's twin jet fighter.
Note that Henri Coanda, in 1910, had already designed and had one lfighit in a reaction aircraft, where the compressor was driven by a petrol engine. Other than than, it had the basic features of a reaction aircraft... thrust was entirely from the mixing of air/pertrol with the flame, as there was no propeller.

indeed, the chinese had used rocket propelled artillery in the 12th century, anyone want's to claim having thought af that earlier?
the reasonable man adjusts to his souroundings, while the unreasonable man insists on adjusting his souroundings to him.&&&&therefore all progress is due to the unreasonable man.

They also had the first lunar landing mission disaster. Miscalculating the size of the moon, they thought that the flight would be no more than 50 miles, strapped what they told their emperor should be enough rockets to his throne and...
...Of course, the intrigue is whether or not they were in service to the heir apparent.
