Sky High: Goodyear Balloonists Made History in 1913
Goodyear balloonists Ralph H. Upson and R.A.D. Preston covered 384 miles during the 1913 Gordon Bennett Cup international balloon race, which they won. Here, they pose in front of the Goodyear balloon they piloted during the race — which started in Paris, France. They raced for over 43 hours and 30 minutes. The pair had built Goodyear’s first airships. Preston and Upson brought attention to Akron with their victory and aeronautic work at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. Upson was the chief engineer of the aeronautics department for Goodyear from 1914 to 1920. Preston had a street named after him in Akron to honor the 1913 victory: Preston Avenue, which you might travel on today if you pass through the Goodyear Heights neighborhood.
