  • ""Flamboyant showman, starry-eyed dreamer, dedicated scientist, Thaddeus Lowe with his billowing balloon can justly be called the Founding Father of the United States Air Force because of the balloon equipment and aerial reconnaissance techniques he developed during the Civil War ... For two years Thaddeus Lowe's balloons directed artillery, reported troop movements, [and] revolutionized the science of gunnery through aerial reports."--Jacket."
