In the 21st century - the age of the budget airline - where quick and reliable air travel is available to a large segment of society, it seems hard to comprehend that it is less than 250 years since the first human took to the skies. Although the wing of the bird seemed like the most obvious natural mechanism to attempt replicate, it was actually contained hot air, as demonstrated by the Montgolfiers and their balloon, that gave birth to the era human aviation. Since the first manned balloon flight in 1783, developments have come thick and fast, the airship, the aeroplane, and finally the space shuttle. This reprint of a classic publication written by some of the pioneering aeronauts, details the interesting history and major events of the lighter-than-air period of aviation. Complete with illustrations and a brand new introduction, it gives a fascinating insight into aviation before the aeroplane.

The True Story Behind the Major Motion Picture — and one of the greatest daredevil stories in the history of aviation In 1862, ambitious scientist James Glaisher set out to do the impossible: ascend higher into the skies than ever before. A pioneer of weather forecasting and of photography, and a founding member of the Royal Meteorological Society, he wanted to take ground-breaking research measurements from different altitudes. On 5th September, along with experienced balloonist Henry Coxwell as his pilot, he lifted off in a hot air balloon for what would prove to be a death-defying and historic flight. Rising above the English countryside, they rose to the remarkable height of 37,000 feet (7 miles or 11km), almost killing both men, who experienced blurred vision, loss of motor function and, eventually, unconsciousness. It was a miracle they survived to tell the tale. Written in his own words, The Aeronauts chronicles Glaisher’s incredible flights and discoveries first hand, as well as his observations on those pioneers who came before and inspired him. His audaciously daring journey forms the story of the forthcoming major motion picture The Aeronauts. With an introduction by Professor Liz Bentley, Chief Executive at the Royal Meteorological Society

Excerpt from Travels in the Air A Second Edition enables me to speak concerning the use of the balloon during the siege of Paris. When I laid down my pen a few months ago, I little thought that a new chapter was about to be added to the History of Aerostation, and that the time when the balloon would take its place as a necessary means of communication was so near at hand. Although, in common with my colleagues, I had long hoped to see more attention paid to the improvement of aerial navigation, still it is painful to reflect that the stimulus has been afforded by the misfortunes of France. I had long felt satisfied that the balloon could be used with great advantage to explore the ocean overhead. As a philosophical instrument, although rude, costly, and most unmanageable, it had so many good points about it, that I was hopeful - as will be seen from the narratives in the body of the work - that its use would be attended with varied and important benefits to science. But an invention, however beautiful or interesting, unless it commends itself to some definitely expressed interest, or fulfils a purpose generally understood, is apt to languish. The balloon is a case in point. The necessity of exploring the aerial ocean, and seeking within its depths for the causes of atmospheric phenomena, has never yet been generally recognized. Situated at the lower confines of the atmosphere, we are limited in our observation of forces which, expended upon the earth, are conceived and regulated above.
