Hot air Balloons!

 Morning and Evening?

Despite the many modern materials and power plants things can still go horribly wrong as recently seen in Brazil, but also a bit of mystery fun in the U.K.!

This form of transport was around for at least one hundred years before flight and it is the Montpellier brothers that were famous for the start of French military aviation? 

This allowed them the ability to move orders, mail, guns and ammunition in three days on a flight that took over a week, depending on the weather by horse?

Following Frances novelty balloon, Germany set about developing their own, that lead on to the Zepplin airships, while the British were late to the field, but they had great success in South-Africa with their balloons and later airships or Durables from the R101!
