Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Inst Press, 1983 Fabulous copy, only a shade off new. Could be given as a gift. No tears or chips. Pages and page edges pristine and dustjacket protected by brand new mylar cover. Very attactive midnight blue and black pictorial endpapers. The romance of ballooning has captivated people for over two centuries. When the first manned balloon went aloft in France in 1783 Americans were entranced with the idea of flying. Just one year later a thirteen year old American did it, thus beginning the great American race to perfect the balloon. This book, written from primary sources, is a comprehensive history that reads like a novel. It's beautifully illustrated with both art and photographs and covers the Founding Fathers and the balloon, the Golden Age of ballooning, the use of the balloon during the Civil War, the balloon as entertainment, and much more. It also brings to life the men who contributed to ballooning -- men such as Jeffries, Blanchard, Von Zeppelin, Godard, Samuel Archer King and many more. This is a massive book with 770 pages, including index. . Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. (more information)
