First Flights And Balloons In World History
Uncle Ray rewards Greenville seventh graders with a 20 volume set for top questions about early flight. The piece traces flight from Greek myths to Montgolfier balloon experiments by Jacques and Joseph Montgolfier, noting Daedalus and Icarus and the rarity of sustained flight early on. An offer for Rome and the Olden Romans leaflets accompanies the HISTORY notice.
