This magnet pictures a 1913 poster promoting the Gordon-Bennett hot air balloon race in France on October 12. This 8th Gordon-Bennett race began in Paris. It was won by Americans Ralph Hazlett Upson and R.A.I. Preston of Akron, OH who flew 384 miles in the first balloon built by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. Upson and Preston were Goodyear employees, Upson as chief engineer of the aeronautical department . Upson (1888-1968) went on to win several other balloon races over the next decade. He designed the duralumin and aluminum ZMC-2 airship, taught at the University of Minnesota, worked as a consultant to the government and Boeing, working on the X-20 Dyna Soar orbital space glider program. He suffered a heart attack at age 80 while climbing Glacier Peak in the Sierras.
