Comments on Preliminary Article

[edit]

Created content from the Victor Prather and Malcolm Ross (balloonist) articles. I intend to replace this content by a new researched article when I get time. I want to review Malcolm Ross articles, which may require traveling to a library or other archive that has old aviation materials. I also corrected a statement in the initial stub, which had indicated that the 5/4/1961 flight set a general aviation record for highest manned flight. In fact, the first manned orbital flight had already been completed on 4/12/1961 by Yuri Gagarin. On April 18, 1961 Georgi Mosolov reached a world-record altitude of 34714 meters (113901 feet) in a jet. The Ross/Prather balloon flight was for one day the highest flight by any American, and is currently still the highest altitude attained by any manned balloon flight.
