Facts and Quotes:

In 1507, the Italian Abbot John Damien constructed a pair of wings and launched himself from the walls of Stirling Castle (Scotland), intending to fly to France. His fall was broken by a dung heap (which probably saved him from serious injury). He did break three bones. He blamed his failure on the fact that he had used the feathers from a hen, a flightless bird.
