Warm inscription to former owner from author: 'a Canadian, whose grandfather flew with 66 Squadron of the RFC in World War I. I wish every happiness. I observed for Canadians and finally served under a distinguished Canadian, Squadron Commander Robert Lechie DFC AFC the only man who shot down not one byt two Zepplins. Goderic Hodges, Bedford 5th March 1974. Author tells of his experiences with observation balloons on the Western Front during the great war. As well as describing what he did with him during his time with 32 Squadron RFC, he conveys something of his grand obsession with them. A 'balloonatic', indeed.

Hardcover with dust jacket. When a call came round the R.F.C. training school at Oxford for volunteers to transfer to balloons, the author was quick to apply. He had been with the army at Gallipoli, and in Egypt, and had then volunteered to join the R.F.C. He was always interested in anything in the least unusual. And he had never heard of observation balloons. This call was different, for it was to lead to a lifetime's affection for balloons. - After training he was sent to the Western Front and his book teils of his experiences there with observation balloons. Set side by side with the grim starkness of warfare on the western front, the author gives the reader a vivid impression of what it was like to be up in a balloon, of the beauty of the world from that height, and not least of the funny episodes that inevitably occurred during his training and practice with balloons - such as his near-miss landing through the reading room of the British Museum. He relates the horrors of warfare during the later part of the war, including his own personal tragedy and yet with the gusto and humour with which he describes his ballooning experiences he imparts to the reader some of the spell which balloons have cast over him. 175 p. photos book very good condition, dust jacket a little rubbed.
