===History===
The barrel roll was originally called a "side somersault." It was first performed in 1905 by [[Daniel J. Maloney|Daniel Maloney]]. He was flying a glider owned by [[John Joseph Montgomery]] during an exhibition show, which was lifted by balloon and then released. During this particular show, Maloney did a very hard turn, causing the wings to warp, performing the maneuver quite by accident, but was quickly followed by his companion flyer, David Wilke, who did two barrel rolls in a row; one to the left and the other to the right.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tCgDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA147&dq=%22barrel+roll%22+origin+of+the+term
Outside of aerobatic competition, the [[Boeing 367-80#The barrel roll|Boeing 367-80]] and [[Concorde]] prototype were barrel rolled during testing. The Boeing 367-80 was rolled twice by [[Alvin M. Johnston|Tex Johnston]] in an unauthorized maneuver while demonstrating the aircraft to the [[International Air Transport Association]] over [[Lake Washington]], Seattle. The Concorde was rolled multiple times by her test pilots, including [[Jean Franchi]] and [[Brian Walpole]].<ref>{{cite av media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYQS3qAIjAo|title=Concorde Captain talks about Barrel Roll|date=25 June 2007|work=YouTube}}</ref> [[Avro]] test pilot [[Roland Falk|Roly Falk]] rolled the [[Avro Vulcan]] during a display at the 1955 Farnborough airshow, gaining height during the maneuver.<ref>"P1 appears at Farnborough: Surprise Missed by Crowds", ''Manchester Guardian'', 6 September 1955, p. 1.</ref>
