Orville Wright (of the Wright brothers) also only died 21 year prior and was able to fly on a jet before his death.

Imagine how much pressure that jet pilot was under. The guy who literally invented flying is your passenger

Eh, there were a dozen different guys that invented flight (or were close to it) around the same time. The Wright Brothers were just the ones to successfully defend their patent
The technology had just progressed to a point where fixed-wing flight was viable, so the invention became inevitable
