Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrations. Transport. Science lessons. Today, balloons are a casual part of everyday life, noticed but not really considered. Can you imagine a world in which balloons are the newest, most exciting development in technology? RM Ballantyne explores the earliest attempts to fly using balloons in his short story 'Up in the Clouds', and his lively prose makes this adventure just as exciting to read as it would be to experience. Robert Michael Ballantyne (1825 - 1894) was a Scottish author. Born into a family of famous printers and publishers, his expertise was juvenile fiction, and he wrote over 100 hugely successful books in this genre. The most notable of these include ‘The Coral Island’, ‘The Eagle Cliff’, and ‘The Gorilla Hunters’. Famed for his tendency to fully immerse himself into the environment of whichever story he was working on, his lively prose is unmissable for those who enjoyed Matt Haig’s ‘The Midnight Library’.

Book excerpt: It is man's nature to soar intellectually, and it seems to have been his ambition from earliest ages to soar physically. Every one in health knows, or at some period of life must have known, that upward bounding of the spirit which induces a longing for the possession of wings, that the material body might be wafted upwards into those blue realms of light, which are so attractive to the eye and imagination of poor creeping man that he has appropriately styled them the heavens. Man has envied the birds since the world began. Who has not watched, with something more than admiration, the easy gyrations of the sea-mew, and listened, with something more than delight, to the song of the soaring lark? To fly with the body as well as with the mind, is a wish so universal that the benignant Creator Himself seems to recognise it in that most attractive passage in Holy Writ, wherein it is said that believers shall "mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Of course man has not reached the middle of the nineteenth century without making numerous attempts to fly bodily up to the skies. Fortunately, however, such ambitious efforts have seldom been made except by the intellectually enthusiastic. Prosaic man, except in the case of the Tower of Babel, has remained content to gaze upwards with longing desire, and only a few of our species in the course of centuries have possessed temerity enough to make the deliberate effort to ride upon the wings of the wind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year and a half since the flight of the first manned balloon in 1783, an Italian has flown, a Scot has flown, a woman has flown, even a sheep has flown. But no one has flown from one country to another. John Jeffries, an Englishman, and his pilot, Jean-Pierre Blanchard, a Frenchman, want to be the first. On January 7, 1785, they set out to cross the English Channel to France in a balloon. All seemed to be going fine, until Jeffries decides the balloon looks too fat and adjusts the air valve—how hard could it be? Too bad he drops the wrench over the side of the aerial car. With no way to adjust the valve, the balloon begins to sink. Jeffries and Blanchard throw as much as they can overboard—until there is nothing left, not even their clothes. Luckily, they come up with a clever (and surprising) solution that saves the day. A VOYAGE IN THE CLOUDS from Matthew Olshan and Sophie Blackall is a journey that will keep kids laughing the whole way. A Margaret Ferguson Book

Book excerpt: The germ of the invention of the balloon lies in the discovery of Mr Cavendish, made in 1766, thathydrogen gas, called inflammable air, is at least seven times lighter than atmospheric air. Foundingon this fact, Dr Black of Edinburgh proved by experiment that a very thin bag, filled with this gas, would rise to the ceiling of a room.In Dr Thomson's History of Chemistry, an anecdote, related by Mr Benjamin Bell, refers to this asfollows: -"Soon after the appearance of Mr Cavendish's paper on hydrogen gas, in which he made anapproximation to the specific gravity of that body, showing that it was at least ten times lighter thancommon air, Dr Black invited a party of friends to supper, informing them that he had a curiosity toshow them. Dr Hutton, Mr Clerk of Eldin, and Sir George Clerk of Penicuik, were of the number.When the company invited had arrived, he took them into a room where he had the allantois of acalf filled with hydrogen gas, and, upon setting it at liberty, it immediately ascended and adhered tothe ceiling. The phenomenon was easily accounted for; it was taken for granted that a small blackthread had been attached to the allantois, that the thread passed through the ceiling, and that someone in the apartment above, by pulling the thread, elevated it to the ceiling, and kept it in itsposition! This explanation was so plausible, that it was agreed to by the whole company, though, likemany other plausible theories, it turned out wholly fallacious, for, when the allantois was broughtdown, no thread whatever was found attached to it. Dr Black explained the cause of the ascent tohis admiring friends; but such was his carelessness of his own reputation, that he never gave the leastaccount of this curious experiment even to his class, and several years elapsed before this obviousproperty of hydrogen gas was applied to the elevation of balloons."Cavallo made the first practical attempts with hydrogen gas six years later, but he only succeeded incausing soap-bubbles to ascend.At last the art of aerial navigation was discovered in France, and in 1782 the first ascent was made.The triumph was achieved by Stephen and Joseph Montgolfier, sons of a wealthy paper-maker whodwelt at Annonay, on the banks of a rivulet which flows into the Rhone, not far from Lyon
