The development of skywriting

By: Brian Kelly

Most sources attribute the development of skywriting (1922) to John C. Savage, an Englishman. In that year, Captain Cyril Turner wrote "Daily Mail" over England and "Hello USA" over New York. The American Tobacco Co. then picked up the technique for their Lucky Strike cigarettes.
