Dr. Smith made special arrangement to carry a message addressed to the Hon Secretary, Indian Airmail . Society, Calcutta. Cover carried by the balloons bore words ‘Carried by balloons on observation flight”. <span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span>But these were not manned balloons.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>The first manned balloon flight carrying mail was flown on 14<sup>th</sup> November, 1963 when a balloon flight was arranged at the Race course ground in Bangalore. <span style=""> </span>The flight was arranged in aid of the Pestalozzi Children’s village on the lines of balloon flights in Europe. The function was presided over by the Chief Minister of Mysore, Shri S Nijalingappa and inaugurated by Mr. Ramchandani, the Post Master General of Mysore. The balloon was piloted by Mr. H. Jo. Sheer of Pestalozzi Children’s village of West Germany. Mr. Alfred Schulz was the co-pilot and Master Anil Kumar of Bangalore represented India on this unique flight. The philatelic mail included covers and cards of different colours. Some of the covers were signed by the pilot, co-pilot and the sole passenger. Covers bore various cancellations/cachets as can be seen on the covers. Profits from sale of this philatelic mail was donated to the children’s village. <br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://s539.photobucket.com/albums/ff356/aerophilately08/aviation%20covers/Balloon%20Flights/?action=view&current=1963cover.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff356/aerophilately08/aviation%20covers/Balloon%20Flights/1963cover.jpg" /></a> <br /></p><a href="http://s539.photobucket.com/albums/ff356/aerophilately08/aviation%20covers/Balloon%20Flights/?action=view&current=1963reserve.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff356/aerophilately08/aviation%20covers/Balloon%20Flights/1963reserve.jpg" /></a> <br /> <br /><a href="http://s539.photobucket.com/albums/ff356/aerophilately08/aviation%20covers/Balloon%20Flights/?action=view&current=1964card.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff356/aerophilately08/aviation%20covers/Balloon%20Flights/1964card.jpg" /></a> <br /> <br /><p class="MsoNormal">This became a yearly feature till 1966.
