Blanchard's flight, 1785

The title perhaps is associated with the daring 1785 balloon flight of French inventor Jean-Pierre Blanchard [1] (1753-1809), who made the first flight over the English Channel, taking about 2½ hours to travel from England to France, flying from Dover Castle to Guînes. Blanchard, who toured extensively demonstrating his balloons and parachutes, was awarded a substantial pension by Louis XVI.
