Hot air balloons have made significant impact in history as early as the Shang dynasty in around 1500 BC when kites with small paper balloons lit with lamps gave signals /messages at night during invasions by Xiung nu. The mention of such hot air lamps with silk fiber material around 3000 BC in China is found in history.

Hot air balloons were used for strategic aerial attacks/observations on enemies by countries like China/Japan that had developed the hot air balloon. It was used for observations in the American civil war & by Germans in WWI for bombing England & London in modified Zeppelin.

Hot air balloons have impact on humans in literature, adventure, sports, war, meteorology, navigation & scientific investigations.
