The first military use of kite balloons to observe the movements of the enemy on the battlefield was in 1794, during the siege of Maubeuge, and later at the famous battle of Fleurus, won by the French. The balloon's diameter was 9-10 meters, it was held by two cords of 540 meters. It is said that the balloon really had an influnce on the outcome of the battle ; more by it's appearance and impression it had on the French and on the Austrians, than by the information transmitted to the commander in chief. The balloon was used also during the siege of Mayence. The french observer flew about 300 meters over the fortress at the distance of half range of cannon, and saw the ennemy position in great detail. The last use of these  balloons came with the Napoleon's egyptian campaign, after it's end the units were disbanded. The reason mosty was the long and technically difficult preparation of the balloon for action, that did not answer the strategy of fast marching and maneuvering army.
