Female balloonists were just as fabulous as Hollywood’s fictional Amelia in The Aeronauts. Balloonomania Belles reveals the astonishing true stories of the female pioneers of balloon flight. More than a century before the first aeroplane female balloonists were heading for the heavens in crazy, inspired contraptions that could bring death or glory and all too often, both.
