Eileen Lebow's well-documented book addresses a neglected feature of military aviation history. The Allied and German balloons were key to bringing artillery fire on enemy targets--so vital that they were constantly under attack by aircraft  and artillery. The book records the American Balloon Service from enlistment to the fierce fighting that ended the war.
