Unaware of the coming danger, a five-year-old boy happily played alone in the street. But then, out of nowhere, a group of attackers accosted the young child, tearing off his head and arms without hesitation. It was broad daylight and the bold killers made no attempt to conceal their crime.

Although the use of a spy balloon in 2023 was considered startlingly primitive, these lighter-than-a feather sacks caused an entire ‘balloonomania’ when they first began being introduced in eighteenth century France. Pilots risked their lives to prove their creations could be used for flight, with Jean-Pierre Blanchard even throwing away his trousers and jacket to keep his balloon afloat as he and his friend crossed the English Channel airborne. Yet, it wasn’t long before these marvellous spectacles, once wondrous spheres of colour in the sky, would be given additional roles.
