Actually controlled heavier than air flight was, not manned flight. The
Montgolfier of brothers of France were making manned flights in hot air
balloons in the 1700s.

Actually, controlled *powered* heavier than air flight... really quite a
small insignificant subset ;-)

While in the USAF and stationed in the UK, we used "queer f*****g
English" (QFE) as a memory aid for the altimeter setting at English
airfields and "quite near home" (QNH) for the altimeter setting at US
airfields knowing that the former will read zero on the ground and the
latter field elevation above MSL on the ground.
