The Dangerous Sort: The Story of a Balloon (1970) by Anthony Smith tells the true story of “Jambo,” a gas balloon that flew over Africa, the Alps, and England. Mixing adventure and humor, Smith recounts the balloon’s thrilling and often dangerous journeys—dodging storms, near-crashes, and even gunfire—while exploring the beauty and risks of early ballooning. The book ends with Jambo’s dramatic destruction in a field in Sussex, closing the story of one of the world’s most adventurous balloons.
