The opening of the text discusses the enthusiasm that the first air travel elicited, particularly in France during the late 18th century. It describes how the transformative nature of ballooning captivated imaginations, likening it to the discovery of America in its ability to stir public sentiment and pride. This fervor is juxtaposed against the reality that, despite the initial expectations, ballooning technology had made limited advancements in precision and control, leaving air travelers at the mercy of the winds.
