Henri Lachambre (30 December 1846, Vagney, Vosges – 12 June 1904) was a French manufacturer of balloons. His factory was in the Paris suburb Vaugirard. He also participated in ballooning himself, carrying out 500 ascents. Lachambre supplied balloons to both the US Signal Corps [1] and the ill-fated arctic mission of S. A.
