reported (unless one cryptic sentence in the account of the academic commission may be called a report: “We shall say nothing of the several preliminary experiments, but will turn at once to that which was performed in our presence on 15 October”) Etienne may simply have preceded Pilatre on the 15th, but it seems more likely that he tried the machine out several days before that. …We do not have the letter in which Etienne did recount the escapade to Adelaide (his wife). Her reply, however, leaves no doubt about the fact: “I have just received your letter, my dear one, where you tell us about your embarking. Although it did not give me much pleasure, I congratulate you on your success and specially on your safe return. I don’t much like these aerial voyages….” In a letter to Etienne from his irate father (Pierre) dictated to his eldest son, Jean-Pierre Montgolfier l’aine, it reads in part “He requires you to give him no further cause for distress and…not to get in the machine. You’ve already got out of it what you wanted to know.” Those lines were countersigned… “Ton pere Montgolfier.” On the basis of the flight(s) he had been obliged to confess previous to 15, 17, and 19 October he modified the balloon.

to have flown either very early on the 15th or some day(s) prior to the 15th. In addition, in other notes in your possession(i.e.- if you rec'd my email!)as a result of his flight he "modified the balloon" (see page 46, left-hand side, 3rd paragraph)prior to Rozier's flight on the 15th. I strongly suspect, as does Gillispie, that Etienne flew before the 15th because he had to have some time to modify the balloon.

knowledgeable about the subject fix this? (ii) Slightly more detail (number of people watching; downpour ending the show) about JC's flight is provided in this article than in the article on the man himself. Unfortunately these details are unsourced, but if verifiable, I think that they should be moved to the JC article.

I hope you have received the several pages from Gillispie's book I sent you via email. I would call you attention to page 45, right hand column, Gillispie says..."Her reply leaves no doubt about the fact...these aerial voyages." See reference note 47 on page 184, "Adelaide appended this response to a
1130:
My reasoning for asserting that statement: Let's assume Etienne flew. The day he flew or perhaps some days later he writes to his wife regarding the flight. It takes days for the letter to get to her. She digests what he has written. Even if she wrote back the same day she received his letter he had
885:
Etienne became the first human to lift off the earth in a tethered balloon. It occurred sometime in August 1783. A letter from his wife, dated sometime in August 1783, refers to his safe return from the flight. This informaton was not known until approximately 1983 when Gillispie published it in his
733:
Also, the first flight across the English Channel was in a hydrogen balloon... which was invented by Jacques-Alexandre-CĂ©sar Charles, about whom there is no article. The hydrogen balloon was used extensively for the next 200 years, while the hot air balloon floated into obscurity until the discovery
729:
Looking round numerous websites, it seems there is confusion about the date of the first manned and unmanned ascent. I think April 4, 1783 might be unmanned, June 5 manned. Also there is wide variation on the Net of the statistics associated with the events, such as balloon volume, distance, height
1016:
The academic commission mentions "several preliminary experiments", there are several letters from Montgolfier family members relating Etienne's tethered flight that surfaced almost 200 years after the fact as a result of Gillispie's research into the Montgolfier family archives in circa 1983, and
995:
Was Pilâtre de Rozier the first airman? The distinction is always accorded him…for his feat of soloing in the same balloon held captive in test runs on 15, 17, and 19 October . Before that, however, Etienne himself flew the new balloon in experiments that were not then, and have never since, been
835:
This entry contains a description of the work of Jacques Charles, but it does not compare well with the existing entry on this man. Two things: (i) This article says that JC went into the sky twice on 1 December, but the entry on JC does not mention this. So which is right? So can someone more

In the original Highlander movie, the protagonist, upon drinking a 200 year old bottle of wine with a 1783 vintage mused, "1783 was a very good year. Mozart wrote his Great Mass. The Montgolfier brothers went up in the first hot-air balloon. And England recognized the independence of the United
1251:
A small discussion of this interesting decade (a 1780's version of iOS/Android ;-) ) would be appropriate in the existing 'Competing Claims' section to lend the article some historical background, but this article should be focussed on the Montgolfier's, at present that focus evaporates halfway
1103:
Carefully summarizing or rephrasing source material without changing its meaning is not synthesis—it is good editing. Best practice is to write Knowledge articles by researching the most reliable published sources on the topic and summarizing their claims in your own words, with each claim
1247:
This section should really be for the following launches made by the Montgolfier brothers, not by competitors. Instead, looking back at this page after editing it yesterday and subsequent edits by others, it is looking like a vehicle for people desperate to prove the superiority of other
1196:
There seems to be at least a word missing from the first sentence of the Early experiments section: "Of the two brothers, it was Joseph who first contemplated building machines". My guess is that it should read: "Of the two brothers, it was Joseph who first contemplated building
1311:
But if the Montgolfier balloon took of in 1783, it would be quite impossible to talk about another earlier balloon take-off of 1780, in the year 1709. Unless that writer has the rare ability to see the future... :-D Means: this year needs to be corrected.
1017:
Etienne modified the balloon Rozier used in October as a result of Etienne's flight(s). Yes, I think we can quote Gillispie that Etienne flew first. Rigid requirements of proof were not in place in 1783. viz: FAI was 122 years hence.
778:
I was working on the Dutch lemma the other day and gathered some information. I think the French Knowledge is best informed on the subject, the German Knowledge is also in trouble on that particular subject, but there is a book by :
797:
Gillispie, C.G. (1983) The Montgolfier brothers and the invention of aviation, 1783-1784 : with a word on the importance of ballooning for the science of heat and the art of building railroads. Princeton, N.J, Princeton University
1065:"Gillispie, in his research into never before seen archival material, circa 1982, uncovered proof that Etienne was the first human to fly a tethered balloon in October 1783 prior to Rozier’s tethered flights in the same month." 1061:
There is no single sentence that makes his point. The two pages along with their notes need to be read to convince the reader re: his assertion concerning Etienne. Here is my suggested sentence for insertion. I'd appreciate your

postscript she had already added to a letter to Etienne from abbe, 18 October 1783. (MA IX, 10)." Because Adelaide's letter was dated 18 October 1783, to me, is proof that he flew on or before 15 October.

In one paragraph you mention De Rozier flying at 10,000 metres over paris. That's in excess of 30,000 feet --- impossible. Lowe only made 20,000 feet 80 years later.

In the Early Years section the first paragraph says that Pierre and Anne had sixteen children. In the second paragraph Joseph is described as the 20th child.

The second paragraph is a typographical error. Joseph was the 12th of 16 children, while Etienne was the 15th. Sandy Morton 08:28, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
