The brothers Joseph and Jacques Montgolfier, were the inventors of the hot air balloon. A fire beneath the balloon filled it with hot air
1999 Betrand Piccard and Brian Jones made the flight around the world. The first solo was Steve Fossett in 2002.
The first solo pilot to fly around the world was Wiley Post, born November 22, 1898.
She was the first woman pilot to ever try and travel around the world. Earhart went down somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. Probably in the Bermuda Triangle.
First of all one does not drive an airplane, one Pilots the craft. steering is involved- as with the maritime use of Pilot ( e.g. Harbor Pilot). the first US licensed woman airplane pilot ( there were older balloon and blimp operators)- was Harriet Quimby in l9ll-l2. There were a number of aviatrixes ( women pilots) active before world war I largely on the exhibition circuit- like Carnivals and air shows- Amelia was by no means the first woman airplane pilot- but was the first one to cross the Atlantic- first as an observer ( The Friendship flight) later solo in l932. One Gal across the big water- and so on. She was the first Female pilot to fly the Pacific- in l935. okay. get the facts right.

Her accomlishment was that she flew over the large Atlantic Ocean when she was only 31 years old. She was the first woman pilot to do so. Another one of her accomplishments was that she was the first woman in the world to fly an airplane and to take a risk. Amelia Earhart was such an amazing woman and is known world- wide.

Sixteen years after she got her pilot's licence.
History was made at 4:54 AM, Eastern Standard Time, Saturday, March 20, 1999, when the Breitling Orbiter 3achieved the first nonstop round-the world balloon flight. After 19 days aloft, Switzerland's Bertrand Piccard, and the British pilot, Brian Jones, crossed an invisible line over the vast African desert and became the first aviators to circumnavigate the world in a hot-air balloon. They finally touched down early Sunday morning in southern Egypt, near the town of Mut, 19 days, 21 hours and 55 minutes after their lift-off and after having travelled over 29,000 miles. In doing so, they claimed the trophy for long distance ballooning, established in 1906, by James Gordon Bennett, a U.S. publisher. not mine just copyed first poster is a narb!
