Sky Sailors: True Stories of the Balloon Era<\/a>
\nby David L. Bristow (Author)
\n144 pages<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> For more than a century before airplanes, people explored the sky in balloons. From 1783 to the early 1900s, aeronauts flew into storms, crossed large bodies of water, sailed over enemy armies, and soared to deadly altitudes.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> Strange creatures lurk in the dark corners of the world, and sometimes they come out to get you. Countless stories tell it that way. On August 27, 1783, the villagers of Gonesse, France, saw the stories come true.
