Samuel Franklin Cowdery (later known as Samuel Franklin Cody); 6 March 1867 – 7 August 1913, born Davenport, Iowa, USA was a Wild West showman and early pioneer of manned flight. He is most famous for his work on the large kites known as Cody War-Kites, that were used by the British before World War I as a smaller alternative to balloons for artillery spotting. He was also the first man to fly an aeroplane built in Britain, on 16 October 1908. A flamboyant showman, he was often confused with Buffalo Bill Cody whose surname he took when young.
