This is the story of how Indianola became the ballooning capital of Iowa.
Autoren-Porträt von Dennis D. Nicholson
The authors are Becky S. Wigeland, curator, and Dennis D. Nicholson, assistant to the curator at the National Balloon Museum, two of its many volunteers. Becky is a ballooning enthusiast and a retired school teacher. Dennis does much of the graphic artwork for the museum and is a member of the museum board of directors and a retired pastor. The images in this book have been gathered largely from the archives of the National Balloon Museum, the authors, and from balloonists as well as from other sources.
