In 1891, the civil engineer Otto Lilienthal (born in Anklam, Germany) succeeded with the reproducible gliding flights, the first in history, with his own design.
His methodical strategy "from jump to flight" was adopted by the Wright Brothers (USA) in their quest to develop a practical powered machine.

    1853 - Sir George Cayley's coachman in England.

    In the summer of 1853 he persuaded his coachman to fly a glider, which was launched from a hill on the Brompton Estate by teams of estate workers, Cayley's coachman flew the machine 130 metres across Brompton Dale, landing safely into a meadow on the other side. This was the earliest recorded manned, heavier-than-air flight.
