In late 1909, the Postal Aero Club was reported to be building a 75,000 cubic foot capacity balloon at a factory in San Jose, California. Safety being the first consideration, there was to be an extra covering over the entire upper half of the balloon forming a parachute that would always be open.
Early members came from all over the United States as well as Canada, England, Scotland, and India.
