10 Miles Up In A Balloon -- Prof. Piccard testing the gas containers with which the balloon is filled. In a hermetically sealed cylinder hanging from a giant balloon, a Swiss scientist today began an attempt to go higher in the air than man has ever gone before. He is Prof. Auguste Piccard, member of the staff of Brussels University, and he hopes to reach a height of ten miles above the earth. He is accompanied by an assistant. The start was made soon after dawn from a field at Augsburg, Bavaria. May 27, 1931. (Photo by Topical Press).
