Nulli Secundus
Yet another card that was given out with packs of Wills’s Cigarettes featured the Nulli Secundus, the first steerable balloon used by the British military.
Produced in 1905, the balloon was designed by Col. John Capper and Samuel Cody and made a successful 3-hour trip over London in 1907. But the dirigible was destroyed by an intensely strong wind near London’s Crystal Palace, where it had been tethered.
