Stereoscopic Images of Lighter Than Air Flight. Instructions for viewing are
here, although I personally find freeviewing to be very difficult, so I'd add the suggestion that you could save the images, swap the left and right images, and view them
crosseyed, or use a program such as
Stereo Photo Maker to generate anaglyph images for red/cyan 3d glasses. The best way, though, is to use a viewer, even an
inexpensive plastic one.
