In Anderson's "The Sky People," one group has rediscovered flight during the recovery after a nuclear war.
In SM Stirling's The Sky People, the inhabitants of a terraformed Venus call Terrestrials "the Sky People."
In Anderson's The Winter Of The World, an uncivilized population in North America during a future Ice Age is called the Rogaviki, which means "Children of the Sky." (IX, p. 97)
And we are all children of the sky. See "The Meteorite" by CS Lewis here.

Kaor, Paul!
And I recall how not all humans, even on Avalon, were unhappy about how "Ythrianized" other humans were becoming.
I remember Anderson's "The Sky People." I can see a still more than half barbarian tribe in what used to be the US rediscovering both powered balloon flight and the uses of gunpowder. And I was not surprised the wild men used these instrumentalities to attack their neighbors!
I forgot how the name "Rogaviki" meant "Children of the Sky" in THE WINTER OF THE WORLD. Albeit, that is not what * I * would call them!
