Etymology
The term 'skywriter' originated in the early 20th century, around the time when aviation was becoming more mainstream. The first skywriting records date back to World War I, when pilots would practice maneuvering and create also artistic shapes in the sky. Over time, this practice evolved into a form of advertising, gaining popularity in the 1920s. Skywriting involves burning a mixture of oil and powdered metal, creating a smokable substance that the aircraft can disperse to form letters and messages. The novelty of skywriting drew attention and curiosity, making it a popular method for promoting events and products. As aviation technology has evolved, so has the technique of skywriting, incorporating more precision and creativity in its execution.
