A FLEET of 6,000 barrage balloons,
nicknamed “flying spiders” by
the men and women who make them,
is being turned out for the U.S. Army
at Goodyear and United States Rubber
plants. They range in size from little
1,500-cubic-foot bags designed to be
towed by trucks at altitudes of 1500
to 2,000 feet to huge Strato-Sentinels
of 68,000 cubic feet capacity that will
rise to altitudes of 15,000 feet. Some
of the smaller ones are designed to be
towed above ships. They will have steel
mooring cables to entangle any planes
that try to fly beneath them.
