Sky Sailors: True Stories of the Balloon Era

This is an exhilarating book filled with daredevils — nine true stores about the pioneers of ballooning and parachuting. This is a very readable book that was interesting and informative. The illustrations are actual photographs, as well as some drawings, but all are very well done and really draw you into the stories.
