The hot-air balloon existed at that time but was not used.

Balloons were used and aerial imagery was recorded.

They doubled as barrage baloons as well. In fact, they were so effective that no strafing aircraft were used for the next 45 years. ;-)

I mean... not used as a mobile airborne platform for attacking troops.
