French Inventions Quizz (slightly OT)
Greg Farris wrote:
AVIATION I don't see how "Aviation" is an invention. The word seems to specify a broad category, not any single machine. Still, I believe the Frenchmen Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier are considered the fathers of aviation due to their development of manned hot air balloons. But they were presumably inspired by the book "Experiments and Observations on Different Kinds of Air" by the Englishman Joseph Priestley.
