Pig looks smug about it too
Porco Rosso!
Turns out he turned into a pig before WW1 lol

If this is really the first, then pigs are pretty late to the flying barnyard animals game. The bird ones have flown for a long time obviously, but sheep flew as early as 1783
Hmm, not sure about the word "flying." Maybe levitating / soaring / coasting / drifting?

Whole album is a banger honestly
Also would go great in !historyphotos@piefed.social
Years ago, someone on reddit heaved a deep sigh and wondered if pigs flew before women did.
The answer is no... but not by much.
do we include trebuchepigs?
