I have never heard of this airman. I am familiar with the Wright Bros, Glenn Curtiss, Langley and other flight pioneers. the Austrian govt had a project called the Kress Project which was a sort of flying boat- seaplane circa. l902 it did not work int hat year may have been improved later, at last report around WWi it was sold to the Russians! The Kress project used Mercedes gas engines probably modified racing auto or similar. Was Mr. Pearce a Balloonist? thaqt"as the oldest form of manned flight. Earliest serious Glider man wqs Otto Lilienthal (Germany) I have never hyeard of Mr. Pearce... Pierce- of Pierce-Arrow fame was an automobile manufacturer that ultimatley sold out to Studebaker5 during the Depression slump of the thirties, they fially quite the car trade around l936. Firm has been reactivated as Pierce-Arrow for the manufacture of Fire Engines, still active. no aircraft maker of that name to my knowledge. I know a lot about early and experimental craft such as the Caproni Bombers-including the nine wing job, and numerous LTa and hybrid jobs, the Imperial Russians wuite keen on a sort of dynamic-lift winged blimp sorry7l no Pearce, the autoobvile, yes, but that"s spelled differently.

The name of the earliest human visitor to New Zealand (Aotearoa) is unknown. The (probably apocryphal) Kupe is often credited with the feat,. In the 1300s, Maori settlement began in New Zealand, and the two oldest archaeological sites are at Wairau Bar and at the Shag River (Waihemo), both in the South Island.

Captain Cook did not settle in New Zealand. He made three voyages to the Pacific and visited New Zealand on four separate occasions. He led the first British expedition to discover New Zealand and the first to set foot on new Zealand. Abel Tasman was the first European to sight New Zealand but did not land there. Captain James Cook was the first to circumnavigate and map New Zealand.

New Zealand's famous pioneering aviator was Richard pearse who was experimenting with powered flight about the same time as the wright Brothers.
It is said that he may have made the first flight with a powered airplane on March 31, 1903, before the Wright Brothers did on December 17, 1903. But because Pearce made remarks that were contradictory, and he could have made hops and or flights, and they were not controlled and sustained, he's considered to have made his first flight in 1904.

Yes; James Cook is believed to be the first European to actually land on New Zealand soil. He was not, however, the first European to discover New Zealand - that was achieved by Abel Tasman in 1642.
