There are many great things to celebrate in the month of November including the history of Aviation.

Inspired by Joseph Priestly's book Experiments Relating to the Different Kinds of Air, the brothers experimented with filling paper and fabric bags with smoke and hot air, leading to the invention of the hot-air balloon, man's first flight and the entire science of aviation and flight.
