Why were there balloons on D Day?
On the morning of D-Day, thousands of barrage balloons were tethered to ships and smaller craft for the cross-Channel journey to France. With small bombs anchored to their cables, triggered by a plane strike, the balloons were a lethal weapon that German pilots assiduously attempted to avoid.

the story behind that photo is that the 3 ruffian boys from a poor family, outlived the 2 rich boys by many years ...that's true...

I've made a thread for this Video on it's own in the photo forum, because I think it deserves it... it's just fabulous.. but as this thread is also for Vintage photographs that tell a story ...this Video will fit in beautifully. Every photo on the video tells a story... and you will be absolutely amazed and even stunned at some of these pics.. I loved it......enjoy
...enjoy
