Subject: Re: Marine Fesselballon on torpedoboat Author: Michael Lowrey [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:01:53 02/23/03 Sun In reply to: John 's message, "Marine Fesselballon on torpedoboat" on 19:03:07 02/23/03 Sun John, I'll address mainly the British usage - yes it was pretty common, and not just in coastal areas. It was used simply to obtain better visiability/range of observation. Such 'kite" balloons are even a factor in sinking U-boat claims. Best wishes, Michael [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
