Olham 164 Posted February 28, 2016 A funny compilation, Hauksbee! I just checked the German WIKI site "Chronologie der Luftfahrt", and was stunned, how early human attempts and successful "flights" had happened. Balloons and manned kites had already been used by the Chinese armies BEFORE Christ! The English site is less overseeable, but here is the part of flight before the 18th century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_aviation_before_the_18th_century Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
