Now you are clutching at straws.
I look at a lot of contemporary WW2 documents, and if I had a pound for every mistaken date I could retire to a tropical island with a pina colada and a page three model.
Many diaries, of all types are written up retrospectively, as are many other records. This, and errors in transcription, are the principal reasons that mistakes are made.
Sometimes it's just human error. How many cheques written in January are dated with the previous year?
BTW, you didn't answer my question. 'To a certain extent'? What is that supposed to mean? Either he believed they made a powered flight, or he did not.
