On 17 August 1978, three American balloonists made the first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in a hot air balloon.
Ben Abruzzo, Larry Newman and Max Anderson took six days to complete the flight from Maine in the US to France. They travelled the 3,000 miles (4,800 km) in a 65-foot (20-metre) diameter gondola named The Spirit of Albuquerque powered by a helium-filled balloon.
