Travel the World of Postage Stamps - 200 Years of Aviation - Gordon Bennett race, 1906 - Mongolia 1982 - Michel Mongolia 1526 - my hobby.
Greetings friends!
Today we continue our journey by air in balloons, another postage stamp Gordon Bennett race, 1906 from series 200 Years of Aviation, issued in Mongolia back in 1982, will help us in this.
This postage stamp received a face value of 60 Mongolian möngö.
The time came when balloons began to conquer the sky, and people wanted to show their superiority over each other, and in 1906 an annual balloon race was organized, sponsored by the millionaire Gordon Bennett, do not confuse him with political scientist Dmitry Gordon, these are namesakes , lol.
Such competitions are a dangerous undertaking, sometimes, balloons crashed and people died, and in 1996, relatively recently, a Belarusian military helicopter shot down a balloon, which lost control and flew into the territory of Belarus.
And, a couple of years ago, during the balloon parade, which was held near the Ukrainian city of Kamenetsk-Podolsky, two balloons crashed.
If we compare the image on a postage stamp and the photographs that I took in the sky over the Moldovan capital, we will see that the design of balloons has changed little over the years.
Yes, today, composite and synthetic materials have appeared that make balloons lighter and stronger, but this does not guarantee the absence of the same risks as more than a hundred years ago.
I like to watch the flight of balloons, in this, even, there is some superiority, because the one who flies in the balloon does not see this.
And today, people try to surpass the birds by looking at the flying birds from above, lol.
Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
