Two issues tracking August Piccard's record high altitude and what he witnessed from this height - "Science and Invention" from December, 1930 and the August, 1931 "Popular Science." Unique rarities for their coverage of a hot air balloon expedition to new heights led by physicist… Auguste Piccard. He became the first to reach the stratosphere during his balloon flight in 1931, reaching an altitude of about 51,775 feet.
