About

A history of the early British ballooning units whose work helped shape modern military aviation.

Morris follows the men of the Royal Engineers’ balloon sections from their Victorian era experiments through their deployment in the Boer War and, most notably, on the Western Front in World War I. He captures both the technical challenges—fabric, gas production, tethering systems, observation methods, and the unusual daily life of soldiers who ascended into hostile skies armed only with binoculars, sketchpads, and telephones.

Includes monochrome images and maps.
Maps on end papers.
