Montgolfier Balloon, Pilatre de Rozier, 1780s

Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier (March 30, 1754 - June 15, 1785) was a French chemistry and physics teacher, and one of the first pioneers of aviation. He opened his own museum in 1781, where he undertook experiments in physics, and provided demonstrations to nobles. He and the Marquis d'Arlandes made the first manned free balloon flight on November 21, 1783, in a Montgolfier balloon. Their 25 minute flight travelled slowly about 5.5 miles to the southeast, attaining an altitude of 3,000 feet, before returning to the ground at the Butte-aux-Cailles. De Rozier's next plan, an attempt to cross the English Channel on June 15, 1785, ended in distaster, resulting in his death. This image has been color-enhanced.
