 Welcome to the Apocryphal History of Flight! Hosted by Dr. Cory Trunkhill (PhD), this show will discuss the myths, legends, and early pioneers of flight from before the Wright Brothers. We will also explore technological advances such as the kite, balloons, and gliders.

    Episode 7 - Christmas Flight Special!
    2025/12/17
    On this very special holiday episode, we examine not only Santa's Sleigh and flying reindeer, but some of the quirky and lesser-known holiday personalities and animals who also fly to deliver yuletide joy, and also maybe dread. Listen in as we look at just who they are and how they do it! Happy Holidays from The Apocryphal History of Flight!

    Episode 6 - The Tower Jumpers, Part II
    2025/11/21
    In Tower Jumpers Part II we start with someone who tried using an oversized robe in Constantinople. The next subject is a Portuguese schoolteacher with a biplane style design. Our last jumper for this episode was an Abbot who leapt from Stirling Castle in Scotland. Which of these were the most successful is subjective. Listen in and pick your favorite!

    Episode 5 - The Tower Jumpers, Part I
    2025/11/07
    In The Tower Jumpers, Part I, we start with a British King who takes flight instruction from the dead. We then see a magician come to a sticky end in Rome. After that a Muslim intellectual ends up with a sore back for his efforts in Spain. One honorable mention from a dictionary producer who may have thought he was a bird. Then we end with a flying Monk back on the British Isles.
