Ballooning (Smith/Wagner)

Ballooning is the fastest growing form of aviation, and has been for some 40 years. A balloon looks so very right, floating in the sky - as if it belongs there, like the clouds do. Here Anthony Smith, President of the British Ballon and Airship Club, tells the story of the revival and dramatic growth of hot air ballooning worldwide since the 1960s when propane burners were introduced. His lively, informative text illustrated with superb colour photographs, most taken specially for this book, by pilot and hightly-acclaimed professional aviation photographer Mark Wagner.
