EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the historic moment of the first successful untethered hot air balloon flight, which took place on the Champ de Mars in Paris on August 27, 1783. The Montgolfier brothers, Jacques-Étienne and Joseph-Michel, along with their associates Jean-Baptiste Réveillon and Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier, made aviation history as they ascended into the sky aboard their aerostatic machine, named the "Montgolfier Number 5." The crowd in the photograph, a sea of fashionable 18th-century attire, eagerly watches the event unfold. The Champ de Mars, a popular gathering place for Parisians, is filled with spectators, including the Marquis d'Anonai and the Count of Vivarais, who are depicted in the foreground. Their expressions of awe and excitement reflect the collective wonder and anticipation of the era. The Montgolfier brothers' invention, a significant milestone in human transportation, paved the way for the development of modern aviation. The hot air balloon, fueled by a roaring fire, lifted off the ground, defying gravity and captivating the imagination of the world. The machine's gentle ascent, propelled by the heated air inside, marked the beginning of a new age in human exploration and discovery. This photograph, taken from The Royal Aeronautical Society (National Aerospace Library)/Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness the thrill and excitement of the first hot air balloon flight, a moment that forever changed the way we perceive the world and our place within it.
