Members of the Civil War Balloon Corps keep Civil War Aeronautics alive!

 

Since 2011, we have shared Civil War Ballooning history with a 19,000 cubic foot netted gas balloon (inflated with cold air) built in 1941 and used by the U.S. Navy to transition pilots from free balloon to airship.  The balloon is similar in size to the smaller balloons used by the Union Army.
