Balloon busters were military pilots known for destroying enemy observation balloons. These pilots were noted for their fearlessness, as balloons were stationary targets able to receive heavy defenses, from the ground and the air.[1] Seventy-seven flying aces in World War I were each credited with destroying five or more balloons, and thus were balloon aces.
