EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Balloon Basket used by the United States Marine Corps during World War I. Created in the 1910s, this extraordinary craft played a crucial role in air transport and reconnaissance efforts. Measuring an impressive 63 inches long, 37 inches wide, and standing at a height of 53 inches, it features a sturdy cane basket with a silver canvas cover. The vibrant colors captured in this image bring to life the concept of early air technology and its significance in warfare. As an educational institution dedicated to preserving our heritage art, the National Air and Space Museum proudly displays this unknown creator's masterpiece. During World War I, observation balloons like these were employed for surveillance purposes, providing valuable intelligence on enemy movements. The brave soldiers of the United States Marine Corps operated these balloons as part of their mission to protect our country. This photograph serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and advancements made during that tumultuous period in history. It symbolizes not only technological progress but also pays homage to those who served their nation selflessly. Displayed within the Smithsonian Institution's prestigious collection, this balloon basket stands as an enduring testament to American innovation and military prowess during World War I.
