Balloons around Newbury Twenty Adventurous Years by Jenkinson. Alec,

Soft cover book with 29 pages, illustrated with B/W plates, 9 chapters, concluding with acknowledgements.

This book records the busy early activity of the modern era of ballooning being largely centred around Newbury thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of farmer David Liddiard who opened the gates to his field for balloonists to launch and store their balloons.

 It records the people, the balloons and the adventures and is an important record of an era long gone but not forgotten.
