Frederic P. Miller - Montgolfier Brothers

Joseph-Michel Montgolfier (26 August 1740 26 June 1810) and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier (6 January 1745 2 August 1799) were the inventors of the montgolfièrestyle hot air balloon, globe aérostatique or airship. The brothers succeeded in launching the first manned ascent, carrying a young physician, Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier, and an audacious army officer, François Laurent d'Arlandes, into the sky. Later, in December 1783 in recognition of their achievement, their father Pierre was elevated to the nobility and the hereditary appellation of de Montgolfier by King Louis XVI of France.
