Historical Roots

Skywriting may seem like a modern marvel, but its origins can be traced back to the early 20th century. The technique was invented by a British war veteran named John C. Savage in 1922. Savage discovered that by emitting thick smoke from his aircraft, he could create letters and words visible from the ground.

Following Savage's invention, skywriting quickly gained popularity as a form of aerial advertising. The first major public demonstration of skywriting took place in 1923, over the city of London. The words "Daily Mail" were etched across the sky, capturing the attention of millions and sparking a global fascination with this extraordinary art form.

Mastering the Art

Skywriting requires a skilled pilot, equipped with an aircraft capable of emitting smoke. Traditional skywriting techniques involve the use of a small piston engine aircraft that releases specialized biodegradable oil-based smoke into the sky. This smoke forms the desired letters and words as the pilot maneuvers the plane.

Through a combination of aircraft speed, smoke release intervals, and precise flight patterns, the pilot can create distinct and legible messages. It is truly an artistic endeavor that demands both technical expertise and an eye for design. As each letter dissolves, the next one is formed, creating a continuous stream of captivating skywriting letters.

From Advertising to Memorable Events

While skywriting has its roots in advertising, its potential goes far beyond commercial purposes. Today, skywriting is used in various contexts, ranging from special events to captivating proposals. The sheer scale and visibility of skywritten messages make them memorable and impactful.

Some companies still utilize skywriting as an unconventional marketing strategy, successfully capturing the attention of full cities or even entire countries. However, individuals have also embraced this awe-inspiring art form, using it to create once-in-a-lifetime moments or to express heartfelt messages in the most unique way imaginable.

The Power of the Sky

Skywriting has an undeniable impact on those who witness it. Whether it's the sheer scale of the sky, the transient nature of the messages, or the breathtaking beauty of the process itself, skywriting never fails to captivate an audience. It evokes a sense of wonder and amazement that is hard to replicate through any other means of communication.

Furthermore, the ephemeral nature of skywriting adds an element of urgency and exclusivity to the messages conveyed. As the words dissolve into the air, they become a shared experience for all who were fortunate enough to witness them. These fleeting moments become cherished memories that linger in people's minds long after the sky has returned to its usual canvas.

Unleashing the Power of the Sky

Skywriting by word of mouth is a remarkable phenomenon that continues to inspire and captivate audiences. From its humble beginnings as a form of aerial advertising to its modern applications in special events and personal celebrations, skywriting unleashes the power of the sky to convey messages in a way that is both awe-inspiring and unforgettable.

So, the next time you find yourself gazing up at the sky, remember the stories that have been written and the moments that have been shared through skywriting. Let the vast expanse above guide your imagination and remind you of the power of communication, even when the words dissolve into thin air.

John Lennon wrote Skywriting by Word of Mouth, an impressive collection of writings and drawings, during Yoko Ono's pregnancy with Sean, and always planned to have it published. The book's publication was a wish that seemed to end with Lennon's assassination in 1980 and the theft of the manuscript from the Lennons' home in 1982. When it was recovered and first published in 1986, Skywriting received immediate critical and popular acclaim. Filled with Lennon's extraordinary creative powers and lavishly illustrated with his own drawings, the collection reveals his fertile creative spirit up close and in full force. Included in Skywriting are "Two Virgins," written when the public learned that John and Yoko were living together as husband and wife, and John's only autobiography, "The Ballad of John and Yoko." In addition there are notes on his falling in love with Yoko, the breakup of the Beatles, his persecution by U.S. authorities, and his withdrawal from public life. This is a book with John Lennon's spirit on every page—a spirit the world needs to remember.
