Summary: Gas Balloon

Key dates:

The idea of air travel had interested many adventurers in Europe and North America at the beginning of the 20th century. Among those involved were the Dunvilles of Holywood, Co. Down. The photograph shows Mrs. Dunville in the family’s gas balloon in which she and her husband crossed both the Irish Sea and the English Channel.
