Manned high-altitude balloons  add https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Leo_Stevens Orvil A. Anderson add details Albert William Stevens Manned high-altitude balloons were used from the 1930s to 1960s for research and in seeking flight altitude records.[5] Notable manned high altitude balloon flights include three records set for highest skydive, the first set by Joseph Kittinger in 1960 at 31,300m for Project Excelsior, followed by Felix Baumgartner in 2012 at 38,969m for Red Bull Stratos and most recently Alan Eustace in 2014 at 41,419m.

America's Challenge Gas Ballon Race Don Cameron is one of the few aeronauts to be awarded the Harmon Trophy.

The America's Challenge Gas Ballon Race was founded by the Balloon Fiesta in 1995 through the vision and efforts of Mark Sullivan, former Balloon Fiesta president and recipient of the Montgolfier Diplome, one of ballooning's highest honors. Sullivan saw the need for America to be identified with the world's most prestigious ballooning sport. We are proud to provide a showcase in the United States to share the adventure and spectacle of gas ballooning.
