RAF Balloon Barrage men were among the first Allied troops to land on the beaches at
RAF Balloon Barrage men were among the first Allied troops to land on the beaches at Salerno, Southern Italy. Their job was to keep low flying enemy aircraft from bombing and strafing the landing barges as they came in ashore. The detachment landed with their balloons in theGulf of Salerno before daylight on invasion day. They waded ashore through three feet of water carrying their balloons, and planted them on the beach in the face of heavy machine gun and mortar fire. The balloons were flying 200 ft high as they came ashore and were let up to operational height on small hand winches as soon as the men stepped onto the mainland.
Picture shows: An anti-aircraft balloon is brought ashore near Salerno.
