- Description: Allied convoys of ships on the open sea. Each has its observation balloon connected by a cable - June 1944
Note by other editor: These are unlikely to be observation balloons (too small, too many, no visible observer platforms). Rather, these are likely to be en:barrage balloons, used to endanger aircraft making low-level strafing/bombing/torpedo attacks (they would be in danger of hitting the cables).
