Flight #3: Air Photos

Images were taken at 2 minute intervals. The balloon took a north-easterly course throughout the whole flight. The flight lasted almost exactly two hours, but there was only enough film for the first 72 minutes. The over-filled balloon ascended very rapidly during the flight, causing the gondola to swing back and forth quite a bit. This accounts for the varying angle of the shots. This flight carried a 36 exposure roll of 100 ASA Kodak color print film. Unlike Flight #2, this time the camera functioned perfectly.

Current calculations put the maximum height at 82,800 feet.

Note: some of these images may be out of order. I will have to check the negatives to be sure, and will correct the problem if it exists.
