Book excerpt: Excerpt from Balloons, Airships and Flying Machines That night of 1782, therefore, marks the first great step ever made towards the conquest of the sky. But to better understand the history of Aeronautics - a word that means the sailing of the air - We must go back far be yond the days of the Montgolfier brothers. For in all times and in all ages men have wanted to fly. David wished for the wings of a dove to fly away and be at rest, and since his time, and before it, how many have not longed to take flight and sail away in the boundless, glorious realms above, to explore the fleecy clouds, and to float free in the blue vault Of heaven.

Excerpt: ...immediately surrounds the earth, where they at length bethought themselves of lunch. M. Tissandier finished his portion of a fowl by tossing a well-picked drumstick overboard. For this imprudence the professional was down upon him immediately. "Do you know," said he, "that to throw out ballast without orders is a very serious crime in a balloon?" M. Tissandier was at first inclined to argue the point, but on looking at the sensitive barometer he was fain to admit that in consequence of the disappearance of the chicken-bone the balloon had made an upward bound of nearly thirty yards. After a pleasant voyage, they sighted a lighthouse and descended near the spot where Rosier fell and was killed in 1785. THE SIEGE OF PARIS. A STRANGE VOYAGE IN A BALLOON. On the 24th November 1870 M. Paul Rolier, the eminent engineer, with a rifleman ascended in a balloon in order to convey dispatches from Paris to the exiled party at Tours. On taking his place at the railway station Du Nord in the balloon, M. Rolier conveyed 250 kilograms weight of despatches and six pigeons. The Prussians having surveyed the sky as they were blockading the city, and had cannons cast for the purpose of directing them against balloons, it was necessary to set out at night in order to avoid the German projectiles. Scarcely had the balloon started than it rose to a height of 2,000 metres, challenging the whole Prussian Camp, whose fires M.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Transatlantic Airships, John Christopher recounts the fascinating story of the lighter-than-air 'pond hoppers' from the earliest schemes and bold pioneering flights, including the triumphant double-crossing by the R34. The book goes on to describe the rise of the Zeppelins and the ambitious British scheme to connect its far-flung Empire, the US Navy's lighter-than-air craft and the incredible post-war proposals for colossal atomic-powered leviathans. It is a story of fantastic visionaries, incredible flying machines, great moments of triumph and, ultimately, of spectacular disaster.

He is also a journalist and author specializing in all aspects of aviation. For twelve years he edited Aerostat, the journal of British Balloon & Airship Club. ILLUSTRATIONS 250 colour photos *
