Mongolfiere Brothers
For months Joseph Michel and Jacques Etienne Montgolfiere had been developing their flying object. They had already let it fly unmanned at their home in Annonay. The Montgolfier was a bag made of linen, covered inside with paper. In September 1783 there was an "anchored" manned experiment in Versailles. On 21 November the balloon flew manned and completely free for the first time near Paris.
