unbelievable. Typical of us Brits and our Boffins Now for Peter Jackson to buy the film rights… |

Hmmm. I have my doubts about a miniatures game, but I bet you could do a variant of AH's Luftwaffe to cover it as a board game. The movie really ought to be a romantic comedy, though. |

Really interesting article! Thanks for pointing it out. As to the movie … I'm wondering if it might not be tied in to one of the "talking mouse" franchises as a childrens' adventure movie, with some personified rodent(s) secret agents riding, or even guiding, the balloon mission(s). "Stuart Little goes to War" or "A Welsh Tail" (follow-up to "An American Tail") or "Ratatatatat-oui" or some such. -Mark

Never knew this. I know the Japanese experiments with balloons armed with incendiaries using the Jet Stream to carry them over the Pacific, but I never knew the British used this tactic too… |

This has given me a great idea for a Check Your 6! game. Thanks for posting. Phil |

PzGeneral: Likewise, I knew of the Japanese balloons, but hadn't heard of the British ones until Grant sent in this article. |
