Mid-Channel Float Saves R.A.F. Fliers Downed in Battle

Item

Moored at intervals along the English Channel are a number of all-metal floats painted yellow and red, and marked with the Red Cross, serving as rescue stations for Royal Air Force fliers downed at sea. Steel ladders extend down below water level on all sides. The cabin is well stocked with provisions, first-aid equipment, and cigarettes. There is a radio, and a mast from which signals can be flown.
