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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 by Gertrude Bacon, one of the earliest female aeronauts, details the development of aviation from the first balloons to the inventions of the early 20th century. Complete with a brand new introduction and containing chapters such as 'The Coming of the Gas Balloon', 'The Balloon in Warfare', and 'The Airship', it is a wonderful work for anyone with an interest in the lighter-than-air period of aeronautics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Airships Past and Present: Together With Chapters on the Use, of Balloons in Connection With Meteorology, Photography and the Carrier Pigeon The flying machine, which includes all devices which aim at the imitation of the flight of birds, is on the other hand rather briefly discussed, inasmuch as from the practical point of view little of real importance has been accomplished in this depart ment. But it is more than probable the future will have surprises in store for us, and that the hopeful views, lately expressed by the Academie des Sciences, will prove to be justified in so far as the results which may be expected from work on these lines is concerned.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Balloons and Flying Machines The flaccid bag was suspended on a pole 33 ft. High, and straw and chopped wool were burnt under the Opening at the bottom: the vapour soon inflated the bag, and on a sudden this immense mass ascended into the air with such velocity that in less than ten minutes it appeared to be about toises above the heads of the spectators, then the vapour escaping through some Ioopholes the great globe gradually descended with little damage to it. II. - The Parisian philosophers resolved to use, instead of vapour, inflammable air. This being expensive, the author of the book now quoted set on foot a subscription and raised a sum sufficient to set to work, and they constructed a globe of taffetas glazed over with elastic gum, this was filled with inflammable air, produced from lbs. Of iron filings and 498 lbs. Of vitriolic acid. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of the Air: The Romance of Aerial Navigation Then we have a m mler of crank inventors who imagine that they have discovered a way of causing gravity to pull in the other direction, and a still less number who claim to have discovered how flying machines may be worked without any motive power at all. Except by a system of Springs, levers, and pistons, which to their mind gives a kind of an unbalanced pressure which will push the machine either upward or forward as may be desired. All these gentlemen expect courteous replies to their epistles, and I have thought that it would be a good plan to publish a cheap, short, and concise treatise on flying machines and balloons, and then recommend each to purchase and read the work before writing to me a second time. By a perusal of Mr. Alexander's work, I am happy to find the exact treatise that I had in my mind. In this little publication, we have in one hundred and sixty pages the whole history of the subject; in fact everything that is worth knowing, which although written in a short and concise manner is still very attractive, in a word the exact book that is required at the present moment; and I can recommend its careful perusal to everyone who is studying this much-discussed question.
