Floating Islands' For German Flyers
At the height of the winter storms which paralysed mutual' bombing raids on Britain and western Europe, the Germans have sown "floating islands" complete with beds, food, first aid medi- cines and tobacco in the channel and North Sea for use by avia- tors who are forced down at sea.
These enormous lifebelts have been placed, according to the paper, at regularly intervals along routes generally used by German places on bombing mis- alons to and from England.
The islands” consist of large tower buoys which contain com- fortable shelter. Inside each tower are four beds, clothing, food, med- iclues nud tobacco. There are Augs and flares to enable the
airmen to
call for help. Extending out from each tower are rubber tubes which are use as tentacles to enable the pilots who are forced down to atcer us no possible to the "islands."
