The "History" section says

The autogyro is the last remaining type of aircraft which has not a yet been used to circumnavigate the globe

I disagree. Human-powered aircraft (see SUMPAC,Gossamer Condor, and Gossamer Albatross) have not been used to circumnavigate the globe, either. It's unlikely that they ever will be, IMNSHO, but that doesn't change the fact that this sentence is technically untrue. Perhaps add "powered" or "engine-powered" to the sentence?
