They would burst and disappear from View. One by one we watched the balloons break Loose during the afternoon. Scores of them dotted the sky Over our Convoy that morning when the last Light of Day Laded Only three balloons were left in our pm ire Fleet.

I he High Waves would make launching of the assault Craft from the big transport next to impossible boats would be smashed. Lives lost and the attack vastly weakened. There was a time when it seemed that to avoid Complete failure the invasion would have to be Jwj stoned 24 hours and we would have to turn and cruise for an extra Day running the Chance of Benic discovered and heavily attacked by the enemy.
