"Photo 111-SC-578 captures a balloon in flight during World War I. Taken by photographer RDCD in 1919, this image showcases one of the balloons used by the American military. The description notes that this was a test balloon, possibly indicating experimental or training activities. Interesting glimpse into war-era military technology."
