In September 1870, the Prussian army invaded Paris, touching off a battle that would last until the following January. The Prussians were successful in The Siege of Paris, and would go on to win the Franco-Prussian War.
Isolated from the rest of France, Parisians used hot-air balloons to deliver mail out of the beleaguered city. The first delivery was on Sept. 23, 1870. It took three hours to deliver 276 pounds of mail to Craconville (now Le Vieil-Évreux), about 50 miles away. The Moderns
