Men Inflating a Hot Air Balloon, 1936. 'Somebody...brought out a new kind of gasless balloon. First you pumped air into the bag, then you got all the lift you wanted to raise you into the sky by heating up the afore-mentioned air with a burner. Highly ingenious, but surely...highly inflammable as well?' From "Time To Remember - The Time Of The Three Kings", 1936 ( Reel 2); documentary about events of the year of the abdication crisis.
