Yes, in some stories of Chinese lungs, it is believed that they can fly. In fact, the ability to fly was gained after the lung (dragon) turned a certain age, where it grew wings and could fly.

Was the spruce goose the first flying boat?
No. In 1913, Curtiss introduced the first commercial flying boat, the Model E. There were regular flights of air boats in the UK starting about 1920. The Spruce Goose didn't come along until the 1940s. The Spruce Goose was the largest plane to fly. Before the Spruce Goose, pilots adjusted the control surfaces of a plane with their own muscles, but the Spruce Goose was so large that power controls were required. Howard Hughes decided to park the plane without offering any explanation to anyone, apparently being dissatisfied with the performance of the control system - and of course, now we will never know.

If you made an airplane out of Balsa would it fly?
Yes. Even in quite modern times, jet fighters were made from plywood!! To have a good strength-to-weight ratio. And of course there was the giant 'Spruce Goose'. (Actually it was made of birch I'm informed, but who's counting). It was built of wood because of a wartime shortage of aluminum. This was built by the Howard Hughes company, and may have only flown the once. It still exists as a museum exhibit.
