Product Description

Review
"I hope these new mechanic meteors will prove only playthings...and not be converted into new engines of destruction to the human race."

Product Description
It was during the Second World War that the balloon saw more new and imaginative uses. Barrage balloons helped prevent incursions by enemy aircraft. A good history of War Balloons.
