THE BALLOONATICS 

by

MORRIS

PUBLISHED ; JARROLDS

1st EDITION 1970

Bloody April and First of the Many have  established Alan Morris as a leading  historian of military aviation. By  presenting in The Balloonatics the  unique story of the kite-balloon units  who were born in the Great War and  who died with it, Mr Morris has again  filled a major historical gap. The  result is both an invaluable reference  book for the enthusiast and a narrative  of inspiring courage and fantastic  drama for the general reader.  During the First World War the  Balloonatics fulfilled the most bizarre  of duties: to spy on enemy movements  and to direct artillery by telephone while  staked out like tiger-bait for hostile  aeroplanes and anti-aircraft guns. The  author has traced survivors and  combed British and foreign archives  to produce a closely documented  record of aerial traps, ruses and  miraculous escapes.  The personal stories of these men-  and of their hunters, the balloon-  busters—are woven into a colourful  tapestry of campaigns, inter-service  quarrels and political failings.
