The hot air balloon has a fascinating history of much trial and error, scientific research and bold adventure. This book chronicles the development and advances in the endeavor and also provides insights into the people who developed the sport--many of whom lost their lives in the process. The book traces the history of ballooning from the Montgolfier brothers' first experiments with a paper balloon in Annonay, France, in 1782, through the next several decades, when the sport's waning novelty forced aeronauts to develop bigger, better and more dangerous tricks. It concludes at the beginning of the 20th century, when the age of the airplane rendered hot air balloons all but obsolete.

 We became enmeshed
in the techniques of how balloons were constructed, the type of gas used; figuratively bump-
ing shoulders with the multitudes assembled to watch the rise of a manmade globe; held
our breath as the frail structure was blown against a chimney or carried out to sea. Seeking
more in-depth knowledge, we studied the backgrounds of those who shared from the sky
the very earliest glimpses of our world in miniature.
