GLIDING FLIGHT. The earliest attempt to fly by gliding is attributed to Oliver, a Monk of Malmesbury who, in 1065 prepared artificial wings, and with them jumped from a tower, being injured in the experiment. Nearly 700 years later, in 1801, Resnier, a Frenchman, conducted experiments with varying results, followed by Berblinger, in 1842, and LeBris, a French sailor, in 1856.
