Neat article but the first line is wrong. This was a Gas balloon race. Modern hot air balloons were not invented until 1960 by Mr. Ed Yost. Hot air balloons were rarely used or raced even a few years after their invention in France because of the invention of the gas balloon very soon after the first manned hot air balloon flights.

Thank you for the correction.
