Reseña del libro "The U.S. Army Barrage Balloon Program (en Inglés)"

Merriam Press Military Monograph 315. Fifth Edition (March 2012). This is the complete, never-before-told story of the U.S. Army's barrage balloons during World War II. Shock covers the development, design, manufacturing, production, and use of U.S. Army barrage balloons throughout the war, as well as the men and units involved (both training and active duty in the U.S. and overseas) and their accomplishments. Includes coverage of the British influence and assistance they provided to the U.S. Army. Histories of each battery, battalion and group, along with details of their insignia-both proposed and approved-and TO&Es. The 20 July 2003 episode of "Mail Call" on the History Channel featured a segment on barrage balloons. Jim Shock was interviewed for and appears in this segment.
