EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph for pioneering aviators Jean-Pierre Blanchard and Dr John Jeffries as they successfully crossed the English Channel by hot air balloon on January 7, 1785. Departing from Dover, England, they braved the treacherous waters of the English Channel, becoming the first individuals to make an aerial crossing between the two countries. The image showcases the French coast at Calais, where an ecstatic crowd of spectators, ships, and boats awaited their arrival. The blue skies above contrast beautifully with the rugged cliffs and piercing flags of the French shoreline. Blanchard, a French ballooning pioneer, and Jeffries, an American physician, had embarked on their daring journey with the ambition to prove the feasibility of air transportation. Steering their large, wing-like balloon, they navigated the winds over the sea, leaving behind the shores of England and landing near Blanay, between Calais and Boulogne. This groundbreaking achievement marked a significant milestone in the history of aviation, paving the way for future pioneers and innovations in air travel.
