Who knew there was so much to know about kites? Aerial warfare has played an important role in history, particularly during both World Wars. Kites were the first air devices used to drop bombs on enemies before planes were invented, let alone used for war. They were also used to communicate and distribute messages through leaflets. Later in the nineteenth century, kites would be used to lift up a soldier for surveillance of their enemies and intelligence gathering.
