Show Balloon Boats LONDON. Ships which carry nothing but barrage balloons are the latest branch of Britain's royal navy. Dotted among convoys as they move through the channel and North sea, these ships fly their balloons bal-loons at considerable lengths oi cable and as in London, the balloons help to keep off dive-bombing attacks at-tacks by the enemy. A barge once used to carry ballast up and down the Thames, now carries the balloons bal-loons between their shore stations and the ships which are to fly them. |
