Balloons for the much-discussed barrage for the protection of London from the attacks of enemy aircraft are shown as they were tried out on the field for the Empire day demonstrations at Cardington, England, recently. The plan of British air strategists is to string heavy nets between the balloons as a means of trapping enemy airplanes and preventing their appearance over London for bombing forays. |
