From the antiquity of Greek myths such as the legend of Icarus to flying machines of Leonardo da Vinci, people constantly dreamed of ways to reach the clouds. Their dreams first came true on 4 June 1783, when the Montgolfier brothers showed the public their hot air balloon for the first time. That was the beginning of balloonomania.
“The term balloon is not only in the mouth of every one, but all our world seems to be in the clouds,” — the book “London Unmask’d”, 1785
