Georges Besançon (1866–1934)〔(University of Michigan library record )〕 founded and edited the aeronautical journal ''L'Aérophile''. Besançon was a ballonist ("aeronaut") and journalist.〔(''L'Aérophile'' Collection Overview, Science References Services of the Library of Congress )〕 Besançon helped train the later-celebrated balloonist Salomon Andrée, probably in the late 1880s.〔Czech, Kenneth P. ("Swedish-Led Expedition in a Balloon Led to a Tragic End" at historynet.com, originally from ''Aviation History'' magazine )〕 In 1892, Besançon and scientist Gustave Hermite sent instruments on fabric or paper balloons into the upper atmosphere for meteorological research.〔("Early Scientific Balloons" at avstop.com )〕 In 1901, Hermite and Besançon sent up small instrumented rubber balloons that were designed to expand until at a high altitude they would burst. Then their instruments would descend by parachute.〔 Besançon founded the aeronautical periodical ''L'Aérophile'' in 1893, and remained its director until at least 1910.〔(''L'Aérophile'', Jan 1, 1910 cover at archive.org scanned from Smithsonian Institution Library )〕 There he covered and reported on the era in which the airplane was invented and an international airplane industry arose. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Georges Besançon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
