Ballooning hod irs beginning in 1783 when rwo brothers observed un- burnr porricles of bogs rhey monufoc- rured rising in rhe smoke and hear of fire. Afrer rhis observorion, rhey consrrucred o sphere mode of paper ond linen, held ir over a fire, and worched ir ascend. The brorhers rhen travelled ro Poris, consrruaed a larger balloon, and on September 19, 1783, cock, o sheep, and o dud left on an 8 minute 2 mile journey, rhe firsr passenger balloon flighr. The firsr manned ascent of a bal- loon rook place on October 15, 1783, and vvQS quickly follov ed by many more. During rhis period of rime rhe bosic shape and equipment needed ro operore bolloons v ere developed, and by rhe summer of 1784, even women were making ascents in bol- loons. Ballooning quidsly became o form of entertainment Huge crowds would gorher ro worch rhe shows which ofren induded rhe orrroaion of sending small animals from rhe bol- loons by means of a porochure The first orrempr ro aoss rhe English Chan- nel by bolloon, however, foiled, killing rhe rwo men aboard Not too long ofrer rhe procricol use of rhe balloon come inro being. Bal- loons were used ro spot enemy troops during rhe nopoleonic Wars, and later in America, rhe Unionists used rhe balloon for observorion and reconnaissance dury. Ir should be nored rhor the firsr oeriol mops of Virginio were drown from skerches mode during on oscenr. Ar rhe turn of rhe 20rh Century, a bolloon squadron was a bosic porr of rhie army. Accomplished bolloonisrs abound- ed or the turn of rhe 19rh cenrury, ond long disronr fears were attempt- ed wirh regularity. The first long dis- tanr bolloon flighr rrovelled more than 400 miles, from London ro Weilberg, Germany in o day. Even rhough rhe balloon os a seri- ous meons of rronsporrorion never developed, people remain inrrigued wirh slipping silenrly fhrough rhe oir, suspended in o gondola slung under o balloon. Dore-devils abounded, each rrying ro besr someones record. The fanny of rhe balloon became evidenr in rhe stories wrirren during rhis peri- od. Jules Vern induded rhe bolloon os parr of rhe Machine Age when Phi- leos Fogg won his woger in Around rhe World in Eighty Doys. People of rodoy ore srill inrrigued by bollcrans. In Arizona each year hundreds of bolloonisrs gorher for doys of races and flighrs oaoss rhe deserr, while scores of people gorher ro worch rhe colorful bolloons in rhe air. Various fosr-food chains own bol- loors OS an orrroatan offer free rides ro children. And man conrinues ro rry ro breai-; various flighr records. The longesr manned bolloon flighr up ro 1978, rook place berween rhe Unired Srores ond Europe, in o crofr called rhe Silver Fox. This orrempt mode in October of 1976, fell shorr of irs gool when rhe balloon fell in the oreo off rhe coosr of Fronce, Ir hod rrovelled o disronce of 2,704 miles. The Double Eogle 11 in Augusr of 1978, finolly complered o aoss Arlonric voyage rhor began in Maine ond ended in Miserey, France. The mosr recenr balloon rrip ro coprure rhe imagination of people was rhe forherson flighr across Norrh- omerico in Moy of 1980, in rhe Kirry Howk, Ir was o perilous journey due ro rhe cold area rhor rhe balloon hod ro cover. Ir wos o jubtlonr moment when rhe boloon rouched down in Sre. Felicire, Canada. Alrhough ir remoins ro be seen whor new odvenrures will be under roken in bolloons, one sure focr is evidenr — the romonce berween man ond rhe air will olwoys remoin, and ballooning is porr of rhor ro-
