Hoes van Jon Guttman: Balloon-Busting Aces of World War 1 (PDF)

A thorough history of the aces that took on enemy observation balloons and won.Tethered balloons reached their zenith as a means of providing a stationary observation platform above the battlefield during World War I. It took a special breed of daredevil to take on such odds deep in enemy lines in order to destroy a balloon, with Balloon specialists such as Willy Coppens, Pierre Bourjade and Michel Coiffard rising to the challenge.This book covers the story of these ‘balloon busters’ from both sides in World War 1 through a mix of first-hand accounts and expert analysis, which compares tactics, theatres of operation, aircraft types and the overall odds for success.
