1793 marks first manned balloon flight in NJ

When first manned balloon flight in NJ took place His name probably gives it away, but Jean-Pierre Blanchard was not a native New Jerseyan. Still, the enterprising Frenchman earned his place in Garden State history in 1793, when he served as captain and crew of the first manned balloon flight not just here, but by the process of deduction, in the entire New World. Blanchard was no stranger to sporting about in the clouds, having made his first successful flight in Paris on March 2, 1784, in a hydrogen gas balloon, about four months after the pioneering flight was made in a craft built by the Montgolfier brothers.
