The first recorded flying device is attributed to the Chinese, who developed kites around 1000 BC. However, the earliest successful human flight is often credited to the Montgolfier brothers, who launched the first hot air balloon in 1783. This marked a significant milestone in aviation history, paving the way for further developments in flight technology.
There is debate as to what the first flying machine actually was. It looks to me that the first machine was either a bird-shaped jet-propelled object or a glider though... For more on the invention of the hot air balloon, check out: http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/haballoon.htm
