"As early as 1864, kids were flying "paper darts" that looked like what we call "paper airplanes" today. During the Civil War — yes, kids flew paper airplanes during the Civil War — Every Little Boy's Book gave kids instructions for making a paper dart that "makes a graceful curve in passing through the air." In 1881, as instructed in Cassell's Book of Sports and Pastimes, kids were told how to make a paper dart using "a piece of good stout paper."" https://www.vox.com/2015/4/28/8505377/paper-airplanes-history ht @temptoetiam
