Did the Ancient Egyptians Build the Great Pyramids with Hot Air Balloons?, page 1
The above citation from the Internet raises the question of possible use of hot air balloons, at night, during winter months, for maximum lift, of ancient Egytian hot air balloons.
I think during the late 1700s military use of hot air balloons was occurring in Europe, particularly in France.
Napoleon used hot air balloons for military observation and artillery spotting, as did the US and Confederate armies during the US Civil War.
Be interested in anyone's better documented info on the military use of hot air balloons throughout history.
