September the 24th
Back to airships on this day: In 1852, French engineer, Henri Giffard, flies the 1st powered, manned airship. Powered by a steam engine and propeller, the airship flew at about 5-mph and covered 17 miles from Paris to Trappes, France. The craft marked the beginning of the practical airship. (OTM)
