In a nutshell, the hot air balloon was man's first positive attempt to leave the earth, and much was learned from the experiences, both in atmospheric travel and weather monitoring, and development of the parachute, and gliders which could be released from balloons, and other innovative ideas which eventually led to both helium -lift blimps, and heavier-than-air machines. Most early development was in Europe, with French balloonists getting a lot of credit for research and development, as well as other countries, back during the 1700 and 1800's.In 1793, the French government formed an air arm to the Army, and balloons were used for reconnaissance during the French Revolution. Pierre Blanchard and Dr. John Jeffries made the first balloon flight from one nation to another. They flew across the English Channel from England to France. The flight covered about 20 miles and required almost two hours to complete. Blanchard also piloted the first balloon in the United States. The flight took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 9, 1793, and along the many witnesses was President George Washington. The natural philosophers of the time (people like Franklin & Voltaire) took great interest in such undertakings. Many lesser knowns took measuring instruments up with them. Balloons were critical in the development of a study we now call Meteorology, as well as aerial navigation techniques.
