Eduard Spelterini
Eduard Spelterini (June 2, 1852 – June 16, 1931) was a Swiss pioneer of ballooning and of aerial photography.
== Early life ==
Spelterini was born in Bazenheid in the Toggenburg area in Switzerland as Eduard Schweizer.〔Degen, p. 39.〕 His father, Sigmund Schweizer, was an innkeeper.〔Capus, p. 38.〕 When he was eight years old, the family reportedly moved to northern Italy, to a place near the Swiss-Italian border in the province of Como. Eduard is said to have attended the schools in Lugano.〔Degen, p. 41.〕 At the age of eighteen, Eduard allegedly went first to Milan and then to Paris to be trained as an opera singer. During this time, he chosen the name "Spelterini", because to him it sound fancier than "Schweizer".〔 His singing career was cut short by a severe case of pneumonia.〔〔Capus, p. 38, wrote in 2007 that he could not verify this sequence of events, but he couldn't disprove it either. He mentions an alternate version, based on the oral account of another balloon pilot who had known Spelterini personally, in which Spelterini left his home at Bazenheid when he was eighteen for Hamburg. However, Heim reports the version where Spelterini studied music in Milan and Paris in his introduction to Spelterini's illustrated book of 1928, and Spelterini is also reported (even by Capus himself) as frequently having sung arias upon launches of his balloon.〕
In any case, Spelterini turned up in the mid-1870s in Paris, and in 1877 he was licensed by the ''Académie d'Aérostation météorologique de France'' as a ballon pilot.〔〔Degen, p. 42.〕
