A Metal Balloon (Strand Magazine, 1898)
Here is an episode from aeronautical history of which I, for one, was totally unaware. I have been unable to discover whether there were any further developments in this direction. Interesting too, to read that Jagels saved his life 'by jumping out of the car just before it reached the earth'. I thought only Bugs Bunny could do that!
