On this page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Herbert_Wenham) Carroll Gray suggests that Francis Wenham, in his 1866 paper to the Royal Aeronautical Society, may have influenced the Wright brothers on the question of turning a flying machine by lateral control (banking) rather than by rudder alone.

"Wenham also understood that to turn a flying machine in flight, more lift should be generated on one side than on the other, contrary to the then-prevailing opinion that a rudder, akin to that on a ship, was necessary to turn a flying machine."

I've read Wenham's 1866 paper, but can find no clear reference to turning by banking. The suggestion that the Wright brothers' ideas on lateral control were influenced by Wenham is as intriguing as it is bold, and it would be good to point to clear evidence of this.
