We have tried to publish as many facts as possible. In the period prior to the Great War (better known as the First World War, 1914-1918) many of the aviation events that took place in Norway were organised by the military. These have been taken up in the timeline if they were significant for the development of Norwegian civil aviation. 1852 The first balloon ever to take off from Norwegian soil was made by Johannes Ignatz Lassè, who made two flights from Tyvholmen, near Bygdøy (Christiania, now Oslo). 2 1870 25 November The two French balloon aviators Paul Valery Roliér and Leonard Jules François Bezier arrived after a 15-hour flight from Paris at Lifjell, Telemark. They had departed from Paris the day before for what was to be a simple flight out of the besieged city. Their trip would fly them 1,300 km away from Paris. They bailed out at Lifjell, while the balloon was taken by the wind to Krødsherad.
