They were to fly missions against the largest, most modern air power in the world, the German Luftwaffe, right into the sites of the world's heaviest and most dangerous concentration of anti-aircraft guns.

The Balloon - Noteworthy Aerial Voyages, from the Discovery of the Balloon to the Present Time - With a Narrative of the Aeronautic Experiences of Mr.
ISBN: 9781473320710 / Angielski / Miękka / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
