The other two photographs contain images of a barrage balloon being tested at the Barrage Balloon Training Center at Camp Davis, North Carolina in 1941. The first print shows Col. Robert Arthur, Coast Artillery Commanding Officer, with Lt. Col. M. E. McHugo, Commander of the 3rd Balloon Squadron, Air Corps, posing in front of the first barrage balloon being inflated at the training, center, June 27, 1941. It is a Wide World Photo. The second print shows the first barrage balloon taking to the air. The D5 Dilatable Type of low altitude aircraft is being teathered by servicemen on the ground, and many structures at Camp Davis are visible in the photograph. It is also a World Wide Photo. These prints have been copied for the permanent file and are numbered N. 95.2s.
