Re: F/Sgt Stanley Spallin - 961 Barrage Balloon Diary
I was curious as to how many balloons were in a flight. I found a reference which said that a balloon squadron consisted of 24 balloons, divided into 3 flights of 8 balloons. I am not sure if those numbers stayed the same throughout the war but it gives some idea of the size. Found this link which has some variations in number of flights and number of balloons in a flight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrag...iary_Air_Force
