    Invented the first "hot air balloon".  Henry discovered hydrogen and used it to make the balloon float while carrying someone/something.  He called his invention inflammable air.  He was also the first man to measure the force of gravity between masses (The Cavendish Experiment).

    During World War II, airplanes, jets and fighter planes of all types developed rapidly. A large amount of WWII was fought in the air. Planes would shoot at other planes in air dogfights. In addition, many planes dropped bombs on cities to destroy enemy cites safely. WWII fighter planes were an important part of the war.  This is an american fighter plane. You can tell because it has a star. American planes had stars, german planes had the natzi swastika]]>     2016-05-05 12:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jamatk87_1/aviationmilestones/wish/109402334     Leonardo Da Vinci https://padlet.com/jamatk87_1/aviationmilestones/wish/109402447 Leonardo Da Vinci, nicknamed 'the father of flight', was an Italian inventor who studied and created many successful ideas. But perhaps his most extraordinary idea was a blueprint for a flying machine, which he called an 'ornithopter'. Inspired by watching thousands of birds take flight, Leonardo designed a concept that would be powered by a pedal, pushed by the pilot.  His inventions and drawing made a huge impact on our modern world, inspiring today's flight crafts and hundreds of other inventions and products.

It was launched in 1957. It burned up in the earth's atmosphere in 1957, though. Here is some good footage of it. However, once things start appearing colored, exit the video. Sputnik was carried in a rocket, and when the nose detached, Sputnik One was launched into the air.
