Ballooning pioneers fight for the favour of King Louis XVI. Which aeronaut shall reign supreme in this balloon fight?In November 1783, Jean-Francois Pilatre and Francois d' Arlandes were the first people to make an untethered balloon flight. Shortly after this, I imagine, they began to argue over who was the more skilled Aeronaut. This escalated, and before long, they had designed dangerous floating obstacle courses, and strapped themselves to balloons to complete it. The Flying Frenchmen is a somewhat-true recreation of the first Balloon Fight.
