EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a historic moment in aviation history - the first manned free balloon flight on 21 November 1783. Francois Laurent le Vieux d'Arlandes and Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier are depicted in their Montgolfier balloon, soaring high above the ground with a sense of wonder and excitement.
Francois Laurent le Vieux d'Arlandes, a French marquis and soldier, bravely embarked on this pioneering journey into the skies alongside Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier, a chemistry and physics teacher who was one of the earliest advocates for aviation. Together, they defied gravity and pushed the boundaries of human exploration.
As we gaze upon this image from the 18th century, we are reminded of the courage and ingenuity required to achieve great feats. The intricate details captured in this engraving transport us back to a time when hot air ballooning was still a novel concept, yet held endless possibilities for discovery.
The legacy of these two trailblazers lives on through their contributions to science and technology. Their names will forever be etched in history as pioneers of flight, inspiring generations to dream big and reach for the stars.
