WEAPON AGAINST ENEMY PLANES

This weapon, devised bý A. B. Zunft of New York and published in "P.M.," is de- signed to drive enemy air. craft to a height far too great for accurate bombing.

Balloon barrages---balloons connected by steel cablog at a height of two miles-serve the purpose now.

This new

weapon is designed to 1. crease the efficiency of the barrage.

It is AT armoured steel gondola-patterned after the gummer's nests in the tails of big bombers and which would hold a gunner with a machine-gun or anti-aircrafi

gun.

▼

Olsviously, the gondola should not be heavy-that would tend to pull the bal- loons together-nor would it be necessary to have one he- tween enelt balloon.

The range of the gondoln's'. gun-about A mile-would drive chemy bombers that much higher than the top line of the balloon barrage. and also would serve to pro- tect the balloons themselves if attacking pilots tried to shoot them down. Since the balloons are up about two miles, this would make the gondola effective to an al- Litude of three miles.

The chief criticism of the weapon might be levelled at the difficulty of keeping the balloons apart with a heavy weight hanging between them, comments "P.M." One solution might be to anchor ench end balloon on the bar- rage line to earth by means of a stout steel cable.-

No Nazi bomber would come this close to an armoured gondola hung on the balloon barrage cables unless a desperate effort to silence the gondola by direct fire or to shoot down the battoons. If the balloons were successfully attacked, the gunner could bale out with a good chance to escape. The cross-section of the gondola shows how the gunner would operate.
