I identified this as a Winzen research balloon. Turns out that this is incorrect. This balloon is actually a General Mills balloon. Winzen worked with the General Mills team before setting out on his own. Both groups provided balloons for Project Stratolab. I will edit the information and repurpose the image to General Mills (currently the General Mills page doesn't mention their balloon program) and/or Strato-Lab or Malcolm Ross pages. I may have some images of Winzen balloons, although they would be scanned rather than from transparencies. The best image would be inflation of the balloon used in the 1961 record-setting flight by Malcolm Ross if we could get permission to use it. Catrachos ( talk) 13:26, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
