    This document provides a chronological overview of key individuals and inventions in the development of aviation from ancient times to the mid-20th century. It describes early concepts and experiments with kites and gliders by Mozi, Da Vinci, Cayley, and Lilienthal. The Montgolfier brothers invented the hot air balloon in 1783. Successful powered flights were achieved by the Wright brothers in 1903 with four flights, with the longest lasting 59 seconds. Notable later developments included Zeppelins, all-metal aircraft by Junkers, and turbojet engines first used in 1942. Charles Lindbergh made the first solo transatlantic flight in 1927, while Charles Yeager was the first to break the sound
