You must have heard of the Wright Brothers. Well it was Orville Wright how took their aircraft called the Flyer for a 12-second sustained flight on December 17, 1903. This was the first successful, powered, piloted flight in history. There were many test flights previous which either were unmanned flights or ended in a crash, therefore, they were not recorded as being the first flight.
