Each innovation has captivated the general public, from the days when crowds gathered in squares to watch daredevils with tethered wings leap from towers to the millions on television watching man land on the moon. Balloon launches in the 18th century were no less mesmerizing than the air shows of the early 20th century. Modern parades of jet airplanes and the launch of spaceships still captivate the imagination. The history of flight is not only a story of technical development and innovative engineering solutions, but also a story of colossal changes in the cultural and social environment. Flying has influenced the visual arts, the development of advertising, even morality and philosophy.
