Interesting talk about balloon corps in the Civil War at Norwich in early April.

"Norwich University’s Sullivan Museum and History Center, the state’s only Smithsonian Affiliate, will host Dr. Tom Crouch, Senior Curator of Aeronautics at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, for a lunch-and-learn on Wednesday, April 8 at noon in Milano Ballroom, located in Roberts Hall. Crouch’s presentation, “Mr. Lincoln’s Air Force: Military Aeronautics in the Civil War,” is free and open to the public. A light lunch will be served, and a book-signing will follow."
