History

windsurf kites flags windchimes boomerangs

Garber Target Diamond

Modern dual-line stunt kites originated in the military. In 1942, Commander Paul Edward Garber designed an inexpensive moving-target kite for the U.S. Navy to use in gunnery practice. Before then, according to Garber, gunnery practice primarily consisted of shooting at clouds.

Alexander Graham Bell's Ring Kite (circa 1908)

Here's the picture of Bell's Ring Kite . The article from National Geographic's "Inventors and Discoverers" had only this one photo and only a brief mention in the article. The caption read "The ring kite, made of tetrahedral-shaped trusses, takes to the air in 1908."
