ABOUT
The history of ballooning from the very earliest exploratory work of the Montgolfier Brothers.
The development of the Balloon is traced in words and pictures from the very earliest exploratory work of the Montgolfier Brothers right through to today’s increasing band of pleasure-seeking aeronauts.
The compiler has sought out the writings of the most famous balloonists themselves and augmented these with reports, stories and even poems by some of the great writers of the last two hundred years to present a quite unique personalized history of ballooning.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and drawings, with decorated end papers.
