Description: The history of modern hot-air balloons, from the early 1960s through the 1970s. Photos and descriptions of the parts of balloons (bakets, burners, envelopes) from all the manufacturers.
The Early Years of Sport Ballooning No one knew what it might become. It was a new thing, this hot-air ballooning. People from all over, inventing a whole new sport - a whole new way of flying, with roots in mankind's earliest ventures into the skies. Balloons were smaller, cruder - burners less powerful than we know them now, and while ballooning was a business for many, it was far from "commercial" in the sense it is today. The history of hot-air ballooning is an esoteric subject, perhaps, but it contains the ingredients of any great story: adversity overcome with ingenuity. Daring. Innovation. Heroes made and lost. Flight has never come easily to humans, but that's good. We're at our best when things don't come easily.
