Training Balloon Pilots for Army
In St Louis weekly about 28 men qualify as balloon pilots as part of long training to become balloon observers for the U S Army. Trainees belong to the balloon division of the Signal Corps under the Missouri Aeronautical Society led by Albert Bond Lambert. They must complete seven flights including an all night flight and a solo flight. A solo entails laying out inflating and handling the balloon solo. A student on a solo last week became briefly trapped in a tree as the gas bag rose to about 600 feet before he re entered the basket. All trainees come from the Omaha training station for physical and technical exams and return there after qualifying flights.
