Kyaw Yin
Kyaw Yin ((ビルマ語:ကျော်ရင်) 1873 - 1939), also known as Mee-Bone-Pyan U Kyaw Yin, was a Burmese balloonist who flew a hot air balloon to many places in Burma. He flew his personally designed hot air balloon (''Mee-Bone-Pyan'' in Burmese) in acrobatic fashion as a stuntman. He tried extensively to get a license from the British Government for flying hot air balloons (at that time, Burma was under British colonial rule). When he started performing, he was a school teacher in Tavoy High School.〔(Tavoy -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia ) at www.britannica.com〕 From the age of 56 to 66 years, he flew 55 times with his balloon that was 45 feet in height and could fly up to 2 miles in normal weather. Most of his flight income was donated to charity. He tried for a world wide show but failed due to the difficulty acquiring a license. His last performance was in 1939 in Tavoy; he died later that year. He is mentioned, along with a photo, in ''Into Hidden Burma'' by Maurice Collis. ==Notes==
