Aerostats

Today I received a wonderful birthday gift from a kindly gentleman named Amro, a 1948 King Penguin book Ballooning by CH Gibbs-Smith, Companion of the Royal Aeronautical Society, featuring 32 fascinating plates illustrating the marvel of flight by aerostat. Of particular interest to me, being a balloon pilot and well known purveyor of hot air.

Thank you Amro for your thoughtful gift for an old pilot.
