The article describes the rising role of aircraft in warfare, noting kite balloons and airships as crucial observing platforms. It explains the kite balloon’s steadiness, its ability to operate at two to three thousand feet, and its advantage over standard captive balloons and man lifting kites. It credits British and Allied developments under officers Sueter Maitland and others and mentions early British capture balloons and the first kite-balloon by Go Spencer.
