Steven B.aker Hagadorn 1920-2007 who was serving during the Korean War at the U.S. Naval Air Station Ocean City New Jersey in 1950-1954. First edition of this exceedingly scarce manual written to train and educate Navy Balloonists before the U.S. entered World War I after the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company secured a contract to train 20 men in free ballooning in May 1917. This work describes the free balloon how to construct and use various parts of the balloon details the physical properties of gases used for lift the physics behind the gases and atmosphere preparations for flight the proper methods of handling the balloon in the air as well as on the ground as well as advising the balloonist to exercise care in using gasoline to remove oil from balloon fabrics by avoiding the seams because it will cause the seam to deteriorate. The illustrations and photos at the end show a balloon being laid out for inflation inflated setting the sandbags rigging and ascension of the balloon. The Jan. 28 1918 typescript by Lieut. Comm. Teed specifically outlines the technical advantages and uses of employing hydrogen in the free balloons with specific equations and calculations for volume lift and more. Goodyear had established its Aeronautics Department in 1910 to market rubber impregnated fabrics and coatings for airplanes and lighter-than-air craft and began buildings its first balloons in 1912. In 1916 Goodyear bought 720 acres of land southeast of Akron to serve as their flying school and manufacturing site. Around the same time they began building their first airship in March 1917 they were also negotiating for a contract with the government to train balloonists for the Navy. Of particular interest in this work are the presence of the original manuscript “Free Balloon Log Sheets†documenting free flights starting in Winfoot Lake OH and landing in East Lewistown Homeworth Youngstown & Minerva OH; Sagerstown & Hallston PA Columbia Station. Several of the sheets note weather conditions flight altitudes how they landed and manuscript observations taken during the flights. Roth 1885-1950 was a noted sport balloonist before and after World War I up through the 1930s was a balloon instructor during World War I for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and also was a pilot in the U.S. National Balloon race in 1930.

No copies in Worldcat for the First Edition several located for the 77 pp. 2nd edition varying number of blueprints plans; No copies located of Typescript MS by Teed or printed version of Lift of Hydrogen Technical Note No. 21; See Hamlen First Lighter-than-air Class at Akron; Goodyear Blimp History.

The programme of events includes the Aerial Derby for which over 20 machines have been entered. Of these about eight will represent New South Wales and eight Victoria. South Australia will also have a strong representation. <p>Seven planes will leave the Parafield Aerodrome for Melbourne this morning at 9.30 if the weather permits. The following planes will comprise the formation: D.H. 60 Gipsy Moth G-AUIB D.H. Moth V-HUAM D.H. Moth V-EUAR D.H. Gipsy Moth G-AUIV D.H.

One crash-landed at old Dimboola road aerodrome instead of landing at New site at Halpin Park'. The pilot was possibly Lin Wood. Harry Carew Nott unknown
