I entered into cor- respondence with the War Office on the subject. The military authorities were favourably impressed with the scheme, but it needed the Great War to put aviation on a sound footing, and the years previous to 1914 were disappointing to those of "UP IN A BALLOON" 321 us who had our views on the importance of an air service. Letters printed in the second Appendix to this volume reveal the attitude of highly placed people towards flying in the years before the war. In a previous b...ook, Five Thousand Miles in a Balloon, I have given my own impressions of balloon travelling. On this occasion I will include the following impressions written by my daughter after a trip in the Aero Club No. 2 from the Ranelagh Club to Alresford, Hampshire, on May 23, 1903 (see Appendix, No. 19 ascent).
There would seem to be something distinctly appalling in the idea of going up in a balloon to nearly everybody who has not tried it ; indeed, the general conception of ballooning is, apparently, almost as unsophisticated as it was in the old Vauxhall Gardens days of our grandfathers, when " Ingoldsby " Barham reflected popular opinion in his lines on the " Monstre " balloon : Oh !
