The Wingsuit Pioneers Who Shaped the History of Wingsuits

Watching wingsuit pilots soaring through the air and performing incredible stunts is astonishing and often leaves people wondering how people came to conquer the air. Modern wingsuit flyers thereby benefit from the developments of the past – developments that often came at a high cost for the pioneers.

22nd October 1797, French balloonist and the inventor of the frameless parachute Andre-Jacques Garnerin makes the first parachute descent from a balloon in Paris, using his silk umbrella-shaped device. Ascending connected to a balloon, at a height of 3,000 feet, Garnerin cut the cord and descended with the parachute swinging wildly, before it hit the ground with Garnerin emerging uninjured. The following year Garnerin created a scandal, when he announced that his next balloon flight would include a female passenger, Citoyenne Henri. Although the announcement created a media sensation, the authorities in Paris initially issued an injunction, citing that reduced air pressure might have a detrimental effect on the organs of a delicate female body, and that the close proximity of the balloons basket would result in impropriety. The injunction was later overturned and the flight took place, on the 8th July 1798 from the Parc Monceau in Paris. Citoyenne Henri was later acclaimed as the first woman "who ever had the courage to trust herself in the regions of air". Despite this credit, other women had already flown in balloons before the French Revolution. The Marchioness and Countess of Montalembert, the Countess of Podenas and a Miss de Lagarde, had ascended in a tethered balloon on the 20th May 1784, and the following month on the 4th June, eight months after the first untethered ascent by the Montgolfier brothers; Madame Elizabeth Thible, dressed as the Roman goddess Minerva, became the first female balloonist, after ascending 1,500 meters in a balloon named ‘La Gustave’ in honour of King Gustav III of Sweden's visit to Lyon.

In 1910 werd in Soesterberg gebouwd aan een van de eerste vliegkampen (vliegvelden). Gebouw 45 was een observatiepost. Gedurende bijna een eeuw werden diverse aanpassingen gedaan, maar in 2003 is het teruggebracht in de originele staat. Nu heb je een mooi uitzicht over het terrein rond het @nationaal_militair_museum ————— Building 45 was part of one of The Netherlands first airfields. It was build as in observation deck in 1910. After almost a century many adaptions had been made, but when the @nationaal_militair_museum opened it was restored into its original form. It’s a great place to visit in beautiful surroundings. #nationaalmilitairmuseum #soesterberg #soesterbergairbase #vliegkamp #vliegveld #observationdeck #museum #museumsoftheworld #utrechtseheuvelrug #eropuit #eropuitmetkinderen #utrecht #view #bestofthenetherlands #historyofflight #woodenbuilding #wood #historyfound (bij Gebouw 45) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVs4PARMo_v/?utm_medium=tumblr

On the 20th July 1969, one giant leap took place with the first Moon landing, the long road to space beginning with the Wright Brothers, and another pair of brothers before that the Montgolfier brothers who flew the first manned balloon flight in 1783. However, what if the Wright brothers were not the first to fly an aircraft, and that feat had actually been achieved in Boston in 1757 by John Childs? On the Old North Church in Boston, the site where on the 18th April, 1775, lanterns hung to warn of the British leaving Boston to seize arms held in Lexington and Concord; there is a faded plague, mostly obscured by history in favour of the Ride of Paul Revere. The plague states that eighteen years previously when Paul Revere was 23, a pioneer aviator named John Child’s successfully embarked on the first manned flight, one hundred and forty six years before the Wright Brothers. The plaque reads: Here on September 13th, `1757, John Child’s who had given notice of his intention to fly from the steeple of Dr. Cutler’s church performed it to the satisfaction of a great number of spectators. The spectacle, having amazed the crowds, was performed again the next day, each flight lasting from sixteen to eighteen seconds, with John Childs, setting off two pistols as he flew to the ground. How did this flight and the man who achieved it disappear from history? A clue lies in the two newspaper reports that featured the event, the September 1757 Boston Newsletter, and The New Hampshire Gazette, from the New Hampshire Gazette we read "As these performances led many people from their business, he is forbid flying any more in the town."
