While looking for balloon info I ran across THIS. The quality is bad but interesting to watch none-the-less.

given of cameras of the day functioned, the camera man deserves kudos for capturing footage of the observer in the basket. this was likely staged because i highly doubt a german cooperated and provided aerial footage of the balloon as he approached lol. still fascinating top see how balloons blazed when alight.
Good find but I think I need a much more spectacular marker for a burning balloon!!
Interesting find.
Looks like the German was using incendiary Ammo!
Thank you for sharing that video, Joe.
I wonder whether Ares will ever get around to re-issuing the balloon models.
Nice footage!
Pushes the argument that burning balloons with damage points remaining should be counted as "Kills"!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
I haven't reviewed the balloon rules, as I'm not fond of that scenario, but once the gasbag is burning, it doesn't go out!Originally Posted by Flying Helmut
If the rules allow that, that's wrong.
