Hot Air Balloons

by Ailsa Spindler

From that famous day in June 1783, when the Montgolfier brothers launched their first balloon over Paris, until the present day, people have continued to marvel at the grace and ease with which man can ascend aloft and float through the sky. This volume is a tribute to all balloonists past and present, both for their courage and daring and for the joy they give the rest of us.
