Balloons figured in at least two Vernian novels- around the world in 80 days, by the way this was believed to be the period of soul-creation of the Female Body according to St.Thomas. Men, less complicated, only took 40 days to form, so to speak. Almost certainly this is where the 80 day span comes in. Balloons also figured in Five weeks in a Balloon- can you explain how do you go to the john?- and peripherally in other Verne novels. they were the only aircraft known at the time.(l9th century)
