I read in some of the earliest books that the airship was used first to make animals. Who came up with the idea of using a long skinny balloon (the #245 pencil balloon)?
2A. I (Ralph Dewey) started making balloon animals in 1952 using 312, 338, 426, 428 and only using the 245 balloon for elephant ears and wings for a dragonfly. the reason I had them make the heavier balloon was to make the figures match. Frank Zacone from Youngstown, Ohio was doing a balloon act during the 1940’s and had been doing the act for some time. At that time as a teen ager all I could see were Marshall Flowers so I never paid any attention to his act. When I started using balloons in 1952 Frank had already passed away.
