"It is odd that flying started in the US..."
Indeed it is, however, as here is an an article upon someone else with a
claim, and who was also known as "the Father Of Manned Flight", or the
"Father of Aeronautics", and to whom the Wright brothers owed a lot due
to his experiments some fifty years previously:

Incidentally, he also invented caterpillar tracks, self-righting
lifeboats, tension-spoke wheels - as used on bicycles, automatic signals
for railway crossings, seat belts, small scale helicopters, and a kind
of prototypical internal combustion engine fuelled by gunpowder.
