  Between 1910 and 1915 took place only two manned free balloon flights in Mexico City, both in early 1914: On the Sunday, January 25, the mexican aviation pioneer Alberto Braniff Ricard (1885-1966) and the french technician Jules Dubois flew on a 2,200 m3 Gordon Bennett hydrogen-filled balloon just brought from France by Braniff himself. They took off from a Braniff's plot beside the former Colonia Railway Station (Estación Colonia) near the Paseo de la Reforma avenue (the balloon in the photograph seems to be above this place). As a Braniff´s guest were aboard the legendary mexican ballooning pioneer Joaquín de la Cantolla y Rico (1829-1914), at that time already an elder man, who would die three days later. The second flight took off on the Saturday, January 31, in the same place and on the same Gordon Bennett balloon manned by Braniff and Dubois.

  Oh, my! Are there more photos from this event? I’d love to see more.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  plaisanter~ Only one or two, I'm afraid. None with an airborne balloon and this was the most exciting of the attempt to inflate it...
